On May 15, 1993, while Ringo Starr celebrated the CBS premiere of his show Best Wishes inside Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel, a young man fell from the roof to his death. No one came forward. No family claimed him. And the media didn’t cover it.Over 30 years later, he remains unidentified — known only as Missing Persons Case UP3736.
In this premiere episode of Die After Dark, we revisit that day to shed new light on a forgotten case. Through eyewitness accounts, archival reporting, and never-before-shared details, we can help identify the man who vanished from memory that spring evening.
If you recognize him or have any information, please contact:
