Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP25517) and 4 other sources
John Robert Scialabba, 23, was last seen on February 26, 2001, at his residence in Mountain View, California. At the time, he was dealing with financial and personal issues, which left him upset. His sister saw him at approximately 4:45 a.m., and during their conversation, John mentioned he needed to "get away." He left shortly after, and his family never heard from him again.

Authorities suspect that John may have either jumped or fallen from the Golden Gate Bridge, but his body has never been recovered. Despite this theory, his case remains unresolved, and his disappearance is classified as "lost/injured missing." John is described as 6'4", weighing between 180-200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He had a birthmark and discoloration on one of his shoulders at the time of his disappearance.

His case continues to be investigated by the Mountain View Police Department, and although many years have passed, John's family and law enforcement still hope for new leads to surface.
