Ed[hund C. Horman, whose crusade
in iniiestigating his son's disappearance gnd death in a Chilean coup was
portrayed in the film "Missirg," died
on Fqlday at Mount Sinai Medical Center. F{ewas 87 and lived in Manhattan.
The cause was pneumonia, his family safd.
Mr,r'Horman flew to Chile in lgTJ
seeking his son, Charles, knowing rhat
sotdiBrg had seized him but unaware
that tfghad been shot to death.
In hit search, he gained entrY to the
Natig6al Stadium in Santiago, where
hundrSds of prisoners were rounded up

a bulltlornat the stadium."This is your
father speaking.If you hear ffio,please
corne forward. You have nothing to
fear."'Therewas no response.Charles Edmund Horman
had beendead three weeks,Mr. Horman learned later.
His frustration in dealing with United States authorities grew into a conviction that they had failed to try to
protbet Charles when they learned of
his arrest, and he accused them of
covering up their failure
Turning the anguish of losing his son
into a.crusade on human-rights issues,
Mr. Horman testified at hearings and
t- ;
spoke to conferences in the United
States and abroad. "f 'm not interested
in revenge," he said. "What can revenge do? I don't want this to happen to
any American citizens again."
After the original news reports, the
case became the subject of "The Execution of Charles Horman: An American Sacrifice" (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1979) by Thomas Hauser. The
book was the basis for the award-winning 1982film "Missing;" directed by
Constantin Costa-Gavras, in which
Jack Lemmon portrayed Mr. Horman.
The film drew widespread attention
and prompted an unusual three-page
statement from the United States State
Department on the eve of the premiere.
The Government disputed the film,
saying officials diligently sought to find
Charles Horman, and they denied any
implications of complicity.
