A spokesperson for the department confirmed to The Standard that Ellie’s father died sometime on Friday in San Francisco. No additional information about his death was available.

The San Francisco Police Department confirmed it’s lending resources in “an extensive search” for the girl. Representatives for the department did not answer questions regarding the circumstances around her father’s death.

Trying to wrap my head around the circumstances. Hope this sweet child is found safe!

Following KPIX video gives a bit more information. The Casa Arroyo Apartments in Fremont is where the father lived. Police did a welfare check there, then traced him to several bay area cities before he was found dead in San Francisco. The police hasn't said where he was found or how he died, but said his death is being investigated.

The following NBC Bay Area video includes a plea from Ellie's mom. The poor mom; she is, understandably, frantic.

Does anyone know if Ellie’s parents had recently separated?

 

[clorenc]

The father took his own life.

As soon as I read that he lives in Fremont but was found dead in SF, my first thought was, did he drive all the way there to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge?


“The girl was not believed to have been with the father while he was in San Francisco.

Police with multiple agencies are conducting welfare checks in the Bay Area and Southern California. This is because they are following leads from cameras and the deceased father's cell phone. GPS from the phone tracked several locations in the Bay Area.

Police have also reached out to contacts in the father's phone for more information.

The San Francisco Police Department is investigating the death of the father. They located the vehicle the father was driving in San Francisco.”


Sounds like Ellie could be anywhere from the Bay to SoCal. I hope he dropped her off somewhere safe, and that she didn’t witness anything traumatic.

I know the GG bridge is known for jumpers, do they report every time there is a jumper? I’m on the east coast near a very major city and any time there is a jumper it is in the media.

I'm a lifelong Bay Area resident. IMO it's very unlikely he jumped from the Golden Gate bridge. A jumper would have been reported in the news. There is a comment on the Fremont PD FB post that gives a location for where the car was found, and IF it is the correct location, it is nowhere near the GG bridge.

Oh, I hope she's somewhere safe and not scary. Her poor mom must be beside herself. I hope she's found soon.

No, we never hear about it.

A new suicide net was just installed earlier this year. It does seem to be discouraging a lot of attempts, but some determined people still proceed to jump from the net.

As of January 1, 2024, the Golden Gate Bridge now has a continuous physical suicide barrier installed the full length of the 1.7-mile span.

We had a thread last year about a young local man who jumped either from or near the GG Bridge.

Anyway this might all be off-topic regarding little Ellie, but it was my initial thought when thinking about her father.

 

[clorenc]

A jumper would have been reported in the news.

You hear about jumpers in the news? I’m a lifelong Bay resident too, I never do. I always imagined the media and LE aren’t keen on reporting something that could encourage others.

Anyway it does seem unlikely, but it just strikes me as unusual to drive an hour — specifically to SF — to commit suicide (if that is indeed what happened).

Or maybe he was found in a hotel or something?

 

[clorenc]

There is a comment on the Fremont PD FB post that gives a location for where the car was found, and IF it is the correct location, it is nowhere near the GG bridge.

I’m not seeing this. Is it still there, and I’m just missing it?

Removed on multiple platforms, wasn't true.

Hoping it is not her but someone has lost a little girl today.

Absolutely heartbreaking. Her poor mother.

If she was found “in their city” (Fremont?) I’m thinking something happened to her there first while in her father’s care, then he drove to SF?
