Luis Alfredo Díaz Garrido was born on September 29, 1957. He joined the CNI in 1981 as a civilian employee, serving as a guard at the facilities of the Rengo Unit, which had its barracks at Republica and Toesca.

There were 60 guards at the Rengo Unit, he told the court. He remained there until 1987, when he was assigned to the same role at the Borgoño Barracks. With the move to Grajales, he was ordered to perform duties in the operational unit that investigated the MIR. "There were three Army officers, two Investigations officers, and the rest were permanent Army personnel and civilian employees," he declared. "El Peludo" teamed up with Roldan Olmos and "el Cabezón," and he was the driver of a red Suzuki van. "Since we had been notified at that time of the dissolution of the CNI, all officials, especially civilian employees, began to look for other work alternatives, and personally, I began to study electronics, so I became a bit detached from my duties, aside from the fact that while I was part of the MIR unit's operational team, I also had to fulfill my guard duties."
