POMONA : Police Seek Clues to Identity of Amnesia Victim
A man wandered into the Pomona police station this week and said he was “trying to find out who he is,” police said.
Officers took the man to the Tri-City Mental Health Center, where he was interviewed Monday by a psychologist, said Pomona Police Lt. Joe Romero, and later to the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center for examination by a physician. Neither the physician nor the psychologist could determine what caused the man to lose his memory, Romero said, adding that there were no signs of head trauma or drug use.
Romero said investigators also checked statewide to determine whether the man could be identified through his fingerprints, but no match has been found. Prints have also been sent to the FBI.
While officials try to determine the man’s identity, Romero said, the Pomona Police Officers Assn. will house him at a motel and pay for his meals.
