Jason Jeremy Ross was 20 when he disappeared from Portuguese Bend Beach in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, on March 2, 1991. He had gone to the beach with two other people and, after an argument, fled into the ocean. Accounts say he tried to swim around a cove on a stormy day with rough water and was never seen again.

Some reports indicate Jason may have been chased by a man armed with a gun before he entered the water. He was described as 6 feet tall, about 140 pounds, with brown shoulder-length hair and brown eyes, wearing cut-off jean shorts when he disappeared. Despite searches, his body was never recovered and he is still listed as a missing person.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department continues to handle the case and the family maintains hope for answers. If anyone has information about Jason or that day at Portuguese Bend Beach, please contact the authorities.
