Charles Edmund Lazar Horman (May 15, 1942 – September 19, 1973[1][2]) was an American journalist and documentary filmmaker.[3][4] He was executed in Chile in the days following the 1973 Chilean coup d'état led by General Augusto Pinochet,[4][5][6] which overthrew the socialist president Salvador Allende. Horman's death was the subject of the 1982 Costa-Gavras film Missing, in which he was portrayed by actor John Shea.[3][4]
In June 2014, a Chilean court ruled that US authorities had played a "fundamental" role in Horman's murder.[7][8] In January 2015, two former Chilean intelligence officials were sentenced in Chile for the murders of Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi.[9]
