Hi AnyNameIWish,
Thank you for bringing Mai's case to Websleuths.
I added a few things to your post so Websleuths members would have the information.
Take care,
Tricia

Any information about why she was in the area? Where she was coming from or possibly going?

I used to work fairly close to there, and it’s absolutely not an area I’d feel comfortable being in alone at 11pm. A lot of street crime, drug use, etc.

 

[starlightstarbright]

If you search her name on Facebook, there is a post that shares where she was coming from that explains why she was last seen there (answered my own question! ).

There is also information about a later phone ping, which doesn’t sound promising, but not sure I can bring that information here.

I wonder how she got lost from her group. With a cell phone you can stay in contact with each other and meet somewhere. MOO

On Halloween night at that intersection, the night she was last seen, there was a DJ event... it's the Graham Civic Auditorium, a big venue for concerts. The article mentions Mai was wearing a "pirate costume", so it stands to assume she attended this... (no one usually hangs out on that intersection unless there's an event going on.)

It seems very odd to be separated from your group on a night like this, and I only hope this is similar to other cases we've had in sf where a woman gets ditched by her friends and she's found at home a few days later, safe.

This is one case that gives me some hope.)

Missing 18-year-old Mai Vue sought by San Francisco police

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) is asking for help locating missing 18-year-old Mai Vue. SFPD said Vue was last seen on Oct. 31 at 11 p.m. at the intersectio…

"SFPD said Vue was last seen on Oct. 31 at 11 p.m. at the intersection of Grove and Larkin streets. The family of Vue told KRON4 on Sunday that they are searching near the Golden Gate Bridge, as they believe she was in the area before her disappearance."

This is very worrisome.

I wonder if she was drinking alcohol. No judgement. In my late teens, any time I tried drinking I became very depressed. Searching by the Golden Gate bridge made me think possible suicide. However they do have safety nets up now. I'm not sure if they have had a suicide since they were installed. Hopefully, my comments are pointless and she is found safe and well.
Edited to remove possible incorrect info.

 

[realanastasia]

Apparently the gates on the sidewalk pedestrians would use to cross the bridge are locked at 9 pm, which might lower the chance that she fell or jumped from the hridge. Bikes & Pedestrians - Visiting the Bridge | Golden Gate

 

[Gobstopper]

Did she try texting or calling her friends once she was separated from them? How many friends were there together? How did she get to the concert venue? Did she ride with her friends? It makes me think there could've been an argument or something. If I rode with friends and couldn't find them I'd walk back to where the car was parked. MOO

AKA a rave IMHO FWIW

ETA: she dressed as a pirate correct???

The barriers were finally completed.
In Sept 2023 the body of a 22yo was found near the bridge, after they were seen being dropped off at the visitors center by car.

Grove and Larkin is literally a block east of the Graham Civic Auditorium, where she was attending that concert. Is that in the 'right' direction for getting home or to wherever her final destination was?

That area is also about four miles from the GG Bridge, or 1 hour 36 minutes walking. I am generally curious what info they know that leads them to search - phone ping, CCTV, or something else that hasn't been reported/discussed in mainstream media or WS-approved social media?

Does anyone know how long the concert was on that day, or more generally for Alan Walker concerts?

 

[ChatteringBirds]

There are cameras near the GG bridge. I know they don't catch people going onto the bridge 100% of the time, such as if it's very foggy, but they are there. I think it can take awhile to review all of the footage. JMO.

Her poor family! I hope they are receiving a lot of support from LE and hope she is located safe today.

More than 1 review (linked up thread) for AW shows claim opening acts have started around 9:00 with Mr. Walkers set beginning @ approx. 12:30am going til 2:30am but no one has yet to reviewed his show of Oct 31 2024. However, it is a rave so it makes sense - starts late & ends in the wee hours.

ETA: however, it may depend on the venue fwiw.

Grove and Larkin is not a block east. It's a few steps from the entrance of the Auditorium. (Pls see map.)

More concerning is why she'd be outside at 11pm? Sounds like the show didn't end until an hour or so later, as @tarabull mentions.

Surely she wouldn't walk 4 miles to the bridge wearing heels. Perhaps she was outside at 11 waiting for a ride. MOO

No one who would walk from Civic Center to the Golden Gate Bridge at close to midnight (as someone who lives here.) There is no bus service that connects the two points at that hour. It was also starting to get Quite Chilly (by our standards) that night. (I put on my puffy coat to hand out candy!)

In all likelihood, since the search is now focused on the area near the GG Bridge, it was reached by lyft/uber/Waymo (robot/no driver).
