Shawn Farzad Attaie was 22 and a graduate sociology student at the University of California, Santa Barbara when he disappeared from San Francisco on March 29, 2006. He was last seen at about 11:30 a.m. at the Sutro Baths with a childhood friend; the two had been drinking vodka and were exploring coastal caves. Attaie is described as 5 feet 8 inches, 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

His friend reportedly has a digital photograph of him taken around the time of the fall. Tourists were reportedly asked for help but dismissed the friend’s warnings; the friend later became uncommunicative and returned home, and a chain of miscommunication meant authorities were not notified until the evening of the following day.

The Coast Guard and U.S. Park Police searched by boat and helicopter but found no trace. Attaie’s family says they do not suspect foul play and have set up a website to share information. The U.S. Park Police in San Francisco is the investigating agency. If anyone was at Sutro Baths on March 29, 2006 and saw what happened or has the photograph mentioned, please come forward with information.
