AL AL - Edward Sirio Consuegra, 36, USAF, Montgomery, 3 Dec 1992

Bumping this case up. It has been over 25 years since Captain Edward Sirio Consuegra went missing. Any updates?

 

[Deleted member 199554]

Tried combing the web for more info on the captain's disappearance but details are scant. As with many cases, there's often conflicting information. For example, earlier case information on the web puts Consuegra at his girlfriend's apartment whereas the information on NamUs places him at home. So, was he seeing a woman on the side? Was he and his wife separated? Or did someone write "girlfriend" when they meant "wife"?

I also wonder if Montgomery PD has hit roadblocks with the military when it comes to information, particularly when it comes to financial docs -- if we go with the theory that Captain Consuegra's disappearance is tied to the contract discrepancy. I'd imagine anything released to law enforcement would be heavily redacted.

Is this guy actually missing? I Googled his name and got an address, and phone number in Montgomery, Alabama. Same birthday listed, Feb. 1956. He's apparently been there since 2008.

I don't know which site listed him, but I have found some of those sites to be wildly inaccurate at times. I have seen, for example, them listing persons that I know were dead and they come up on a search as being 110 years old and still residing at such and such a place. This might be due to an estate still listed in their name, or just some other bit of information that the search engine hits on. There are also many coincidences which occur where there are more than one person with the same name and birth year.

you are absolutely right in that there can always be someone with the same data... in any case, finding 44 million discrepancies is too much

So I had been Ed's boss for a little over one month when he disappeared. I was interviewed by the OSI several times. Like then, I don't know what happened to Ed. What I do know is that his father had been an instructor at Maxwell in Montgomery, so Ed had lived in Montgomery before entering the Air Force. He married a local girl and had kids. His wife stayed at Langley AFB, VA when Ed got orders to Clark AFB in the Phillipines. When Ed returned stateside to Gunter, he brought a Filipino woman with him. She called me many times asking if I had any news. Her apartment was the last place Ed was seen.

I don't believe the story about the contract wavering by $44M. I'm pretty sure that as the manager of that office I would have known.


Just FYI. Ed was a Contracting Officer, not a COR.

I’ve followed this thread for many years. It is certainly interesting, in a sad way of course.

Jon, I’m glad you chimed in as much of the info in this thread looked doubtful. The $44million and then the mention of his wife embezzling/stealing $44,000 struck me as odd with both numbers starting with 44. Thanks for addressing that portion of this thread. I’ve always doubted both of those money tidbits for various reasons.

I knew Ed casually from high school. I was good friends with his wife in high school as we were both in the high school band. I can not believe she would ever embezzle/steal money!

I am retired from the Air Force and coincidentally, I was stationed at Gunter AFS during the time of Ed’s disappearance. I also coincidentally sat in a meeting where Ed was present in his role as a contracting officer a while before he disappeared. I occasionally passed him in a hallway and we would exchange pleasantries. He seemed normal at that time, but you never know all the things people are thinking and dealing with.

It’s easy to imagine various possibilities. With no deceased body ever found, conspiracy ideas don’t seem far fetched. I have no idea what happened to Ed, but I understand how some of the scenarios come to people’s minds.

With his Filipino girlfriend in the picture and the earlier mentions of the missing $44 million, I had wondered if Ed might have snuck out of the country somehow and gone to the Philippines. Jon’s post eliminates the $44 million part of this story and therefore also seems to eliminate any motivation Ed might have had to sneak away for safety or anything else related to the supposedly missing contract money.

I feel so bad for Ed’s family with the loss of Ed and them never having closure. I hope this mystery is solved someday!

Sending prayers to Ed’s family.

It is standard procedure with all branches of the US military to declare a service member a "deserter" for administrative accounting purposes after he/she has been UA/AWOL for over 30 days.

This is not a conviction for the crime of desertion, but rather a way of closing the records and getting a replacement ordered in. All pay and allowances are stopped at the 30 day mark, and records are forwarded to either the National Military Personnel Records Center in St Louis, MO, or to the Criminal Investigative branch of that particular service.

The extent of effort put forth by the military to resolve a missing person case depends much on the known specifics of the case.

Not all military related missing person cases end in declaration of "desertion". There are some which clearly have evidence of abduction, accident, murder, etc. These remain as missing person cases, resolved later.
