Frank Baumgarteker's car, turning up after his disappearance, San Diego, 1929

Description:
On November 25, 1929, a wealthy vineyardist named Frank Baumgarteker went missing after a luncheon with his business partner Robert Demateis and their attorney. According to the article "Wine Man Hunt Extended," Los Angeles Times, 2 Dec. 1929: A3, before his disappearance he "stated that he contemplated visiting his transfer company office in Wilmington, CA" but never appeared there and never was heard from afterward. His car turned up in a San Diego garage four days later, revealing clues such as the keys to Baumgarteker's vineyards, his papers, briefcase, and a torn billfold. Baumgarteker was not the individual who dropped off his car. The case was never solved. Reported on in "Wine Man Hunt Widens: Unusual Color of Car Expected to Aid in Tracing Missing Wealthy Merchant," Los Angeles Times, 29 Nov. 1929: A1.
