On May 26, 1994, Narciso González Medina disappeared from his daily activities.
According to witnesses, that day Mr. González Medina had been at a hippodrome in the
afternoon and, subsequently, he had been seen in a cinema in the city, which he left at
around 9 p.m. 109

father had not slept at home and therefore advised her mother, Luz Altagracia Ramírez,
who was visiting her own mother, and had spent the previous night there. 110
101. Initially, the family and friends feared that he had had an epileptic attack or an
accident. On May 27, 1994, Luz Altagracia Ramírez went to the National Police to verify
whether the name of her husband appeared in any pertinent police records. She also
examined the list of disappeared persons. The family and friends of Mr. González Medina
looked for him in hospitals, morgues, barracks and detention centers. 111
