Sydney West, a 19-year-old University of California, Berkeley, student from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, went
missing from the Golden Gate Bridge on the morning of Sept. 30, 2020.
Some have jumped to conclusions about West's disappearance from that fact alone, but her family and a
California private investigator are still "baffled" and hopeful three years later, particularly after seeing video footage of West on the bridge that morning.
"First off, it was 6:45, roughly, in the morning. Extremely crowded. It was foggy, but she kind of disappears into the fog," private investigator Scott Dudek told Fox News Digital of the video footage. "You would think if somebody went and crawled up on the rails with all those people and bike riders, somebody would have either called, which, that never happened, or somebody would have tried to talk to her and try to come forward with all that publicity, and that never happened."
I know the police kind of have given up on it because that is their theory behind it," he continued.
The footage, which is not public and rarely viewed by anyone other than bridge officials, also shows fog rolling over the bridge combined with smoke from nearby wildfires that eventually obscure any view of West's last known location.
