Maurice James II, 29, disappeared from his San Francisco residence on July 31, 2011. He was last seen by his roommate going to bed; the next morning Maurice was gone and most personal items were left behind, including his wallet and phone. His iPod and transit card were initially missing.

In the days after his disappearance, some belongings, including an iPod and clothes, were found neatly folded on Mile Rock Beach. Witnesses reported seeing a man matching Maurice’s description naked near that beach. Maurice had served seven years in the military and was training for a culinary career. Recent blog entries described financial troubles and contained a cryptic line saying he wouldn’t make it to age 30. Authorities suspect he may have taken his own life, though no body has been recovered and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone who knew Maurice, saw him around Mile Rock Beach in late July 2011, or has information that could help should contact the San Francisco Police Department.
