Sean Patrick Friel
Case Classification: Endangered Missing
Missing Since: March 20, 2004
Location Last Seen: Solana Beach, San Diego County, California
Description:
Friel was last seen at a Marriott hotel in Solana Beach, California on March 20, 2004. He has never been heard from again.
Friel's 1993 Nissan truck was later discovered abandoned on the Pacific Coast Highway, just outside the entrance to the Torrey Pines State Reserve on March 30. It received three parking tickets before being impounded. The vehicle contained his passport, luggage, computer, and cellular phone.
On April 11, searchers at the Torrey Pines State Reserve found a pair of neatly placed size 11 Saucony's shoes believed to be Friel's in the park. There were socks tucked into the shoes and his glasses were also located. The items were discovered above Table Rock, at the edge of a hundred-foot cliff overlooking the beach. Although there had been rain on April 2, the glasses were not water-spotted.
Some time after Friel's belongings were found at the park, his credit cards were used in Brazil. Police have not been able to determine who used the cards.
Friel had been planning to move to Los Angeles and start a new job as a computer programmer. He is described as a mild-mannered and low-key man who does not usually get angry. He is an avid hiker and a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University.
Prior to his disappearance, Friel attended several Zen and Buddhist retreats, and some of his loved ones theorized he staged his 2004 disappearance in order to simplify his life. His case is unsolved and his whereabouts remain unknown.
Some agencies state that Friel disappeared from San Diego, California on March 16. That city's police are investigating his disappearance.
