I’m not sure if Bach could be a possible match:

Missing case: Bach Van Nguyen NamUs MP #11611

Last seen: June 26, 2011
Age: 48 years old
Race: Asian or Pacific Islander
Gender: Male
Height: 66”
Weight: 165 lbs
Clothing: Large or X-Large T-shirt (unknown color), size 32x29 pants
Shoes: Size 8 shoes (unknown type on date missing)
Circumstances: Bach Van Nguyen went missing while transporting family members from one side of Tomales Bay (Lawson's Landing) to the other on a small boat. He did not return and was heard calling for help, prior to his boat being recovered without him.
Link: https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/11611/
Case Report: https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/case_report_html/11611

Pros for possible match:

Same gender, race and geographical area.
Similar height and weight.
Similar style of clothing (shirt only).
Presumed lost at sea/drowned.

Cons against possible match:

Decedent’s estimated age range is younger than Bach’s.
Decedent was found approximately 5 years after Bach went missing.
Decedent’s clothing (shirt size) is reported as small vs large to extra large size shirt worn by Bach.

According to this flyer on his NamUs file it is believed that he jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge and washed up on the beach where he was found. I believe the red scuff marks on his shoe could very well be paint from the bridge just doing a visual comparison against photos of the bridge it seems to match. I haven't found any missing persons that would potentially match to him but I will expand my search and keep looking.

Have they looked into Bobby Dale Allen? He is multiracial, Japanese and White.

This guy was estimated to have died a day earlier in 2016, so I doubt it would be Bobby as by 2016 he would be in his 50s

I didn't know he was found the day prior, that's a bummer.
