Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP57013) and 5 other sources

Jacob Knight Rivers, a 43-year-old man, was last seen on February 7, 2014, in Sonoma County, California. His roommate reported him missing the following day after not hearing from him for over 24 hours. On February 9, 2014, his vehicle was discovered by a State Parks Ranger at Bodega Head, a coastal area in Sonoma County. The car was found unlocked with the keys in the ignition, and his wallet and cell phone were left on the front seat.

At the time of his disappearance, Rivers was wearing a white T-shirt, a dark blue hooded sweatshirt, and blue jeans. He is described as being 5'6" tall, weighing about 125 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He also wore eyeglasses. Despite searches and investigations, no significant leads have emerged since his disappearance, and his case remains unsolved.

The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office continues to seek any information related to Jacob Rivers' case.
