Troy Le was 18 and a student at San Diego Mesa College when he disappeared at Torrey Pines Beach on March 20, 2010. He went into the water with a boogie board after his girlfriend got into trouble in a riptide; lifeguards were able to rescue her, but Troy was pulled out to sea and did not resurface. An extensive search failed to recover his body.

Troy had recently graduated from Mission Bay Senior High School and was studying kinesiology. Family and friends remember him as having acted heroically in trying to save his girlfriend. Authorities have presumed he drowned because of the strong currents, though his remains have not been found and the case remains listed in missing persons databases.
