Summary:
Sydney West was last seen walking towards San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge on Sept. 30, 2020. The 19-year-old student was captured on surveillance video around 6:45 a.m. around Crissy Field, a popular recreation area. She was staying with family friends in the Bay Area and on the morning of her disappearance she took a ride share service to the Crissy Field area where she often went to exercise and take photographs.
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance:
Sydney had suffered a concussion over the summer of 2020 and was still recovering when she left for school. When she arrived at Berkeley, all of her classes were being conducted virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This proved challenging for Sydney and she made the decision to defer until Fall 2021 so she could fully recover. All video footage from on and around the bridge on Sept. 30 has been carefully reviewed. Unfortunately, foggy conditions that morning obstructed many of the camera views making it impossible to tell her exact location on the bridge or how she may have exited the bridge. The nearby wildfires impacted air quality as well. We do know that the bridge was busy with walkers, joggers, cyclists, commuters who may have seen something.
Additional Details:
Her family, who live in North Carolina, reported her missing on Oct. 1, 2020. Anyone with information about Sydney is asked to contact private investigator Scott Dudek at (925) 705-8328 or Dudek.associates@gmail.com.
