San Francisco, California. It was August of 2020 when 19-year-old Sydney West moved from North Carolina to San Francisco to attend UC Berkeley for college.
“Sydney had suffered a concussion over the summer of 2020 and was still recovering when she left for school,” Sydney’s family wrote on a website dedicated to her.
“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.”
Although Sydney made the choice to defer, she still remained in California. She later moved in with a few family friends located in the Bay Area.

Not long after that, Sydney vanished on the morning of September 30th, 2020 after using a rideshare app to drop her off at the Golden Gate Bridge.
Sydney was last seen entering the bridge that day at around 6:45 a.m. and nobody has seen her since then.
Sydney loved getting to spend her free time near the bridge, and she would frequently go walking or running there.
