Oh yah! I see it! Then he wouldn’t have had that far to walk, and I see more places for him to bury her. I primarily stayed with friends in the UWS and didn’t go much further than Central Park or the Hudson, so coming from a small town with nothing but dirt and open spaces, it was a bit of a culture shock for me. LOL. I’m glad you both know more about the area and could better find more or less where his sister was talking about. thank you!I just found this and I think the bridge maybe they are talking about is the one that goes over the Metro North Train Tracks..
you have to scroll down on the article and you can see photos. So with that in mind I don’t think he walked 30 mins to the Bridge by the water.
What's Next for This Abandoned South Bronx Rail Line?
I grew up here in the city 1980s and you bury animals/pets in the backyard or In Abandoned lots there were many at that time or by train tracks. At least that is where I have known people to bury them . So when I noticed the bridge over the train tracks at E 165 st I assumed that has to be the place .

Now I wonder how Susie ended up there but Carlos didn’t or if he went there to her or with her. And how his brother knew where to look. If he did become confused and wander off, any idea where he probably would have gone in that case? Or which direction.
I don’t get the sense that one day he just decided to walk out and go live some place else without ever contacting his family again. I think he must have either been disoriented or met with foul play. I wonder how extensive his brother’s search for him that day was. If he were to have fallen or been pushed into one of the 3 (?) rivers there, is one more likely to carry his body to any particular place?
From what I've been able to find, the New Haven CT line does not stop at Melrose (also on Wikipedia). So that eliminates one branch.I found the transit map for that line that goes through Melrose.. I looked at it and got a little overwhelmed it branches out to upstate and CT
MNR Map

But still... if he became disoriented and boarded a train, he could be anywhere Melrose to Wassaic, a range of about 80 miles. I doubt he boarded the NYC-bound side, because it's only two stops, and he would've heading into the city where there's more potential witnesses. But then again, since no missing persons report was filed, no one would've known to look for him.
I wonder if we should start looking for unidentified males in Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties (aka "upstate" NY to all of us who are from the city lol).
His family created a Myspace page: Help Find Carlos Diaz under the about me section, a family member wrote:
*I need your help to find A Brother/Uncle/Father and Son who has been missing. Carlos is the type of person who loved being outdoors with his family/friends and dog Susie., but most of all his daughter Lesa. Wherever he had to go he was always riding his bike. He took that bike everywhere. Laughter & fun was always his Motto. He’s the type of person that would bring a smile to your face if you were down & out. He is a fun & loving person to be with, but on December 23, 1986 the family dog (susie) died everything changed. Carlos said he would be right back because he was going to bury Susie. After he left is when we realized he did not take any identification with him. It was getting late and my other brother Nelson went to go looking for him and all he found was Susie (unburied) but not Carlos. My mother and sister went to the police station to file a missing persons report, they handed a detective a photo of Carlos and what happened and his response was that my brother wasn’t eligible for a missing person report. He had to be between the ages of very young to 16 and 50-60 yrs. of age. So anyone between those ages were considered to have taken off. They kept his photo. Calls were made there after, months went by and the responses were “We do not have anything new”. Carlos would of never left his family especially his daughter. We would like to put some closure to this, so if anyone has seen him.

I wonder where Carlos was residing at that time. It was his sister’s house but did Carlos live their also? If not, why would he have left his ID behind? I presume he carried it on his person so it’s curious that his family noticed he didn’t take his ID with him, not after they realized he was missing, after he left the house. IMO
Now we know it was “getting late” and he may have been on a bicycle.
Omg hahaha yeah don’t feel so bad I have been trying to make sense of a lot of things of things here also HeheheheI also had the same questions about some of the photos! I hesitated in even including them since I wasn’t able to get a response from the family’s FB groups for him in regards to more details about the photos....I took the risk Which I’m now regretting. I also noticed that Carlos and his (I’m assuming) brother look an awful lot alike. Especially where they’re laying out in the yard...
This is all making far less sense to me
