Cameron Remmer was 29 and from Encinitas when he disappeared from San Francisco on October 6, 2011, while staying at the Fairmont Hotel. He had arrived in the city on September 29 to start a medical marijuana business and was carrying $30,000 in cash and a substantial quantity of marijuana. Cameron had a history of bipolar disorder and had stopped taking his medication weeks before he went missing; hotel staff reported erratic behavior the night he was last seen.

After being asked to leave, he checked out but left his belongings, including the cash, with the hotel planning to retrieve them later. He contacted a friend about booking another room but then said he had found somewhere else to stay. His family became alarmed when his routine daily calls stopped after October 6. There were several unconfirmed sightings in San Francisco in the months that followed, but his phone, bank accounts, and social media showed no activity.

Cameron is listed among a group referred to as the California Five, young men who went missing in San Francisco between 2010 and 2013. The San Francisco Police Department continues to investigate; anyone with information is asked to contact them.
