Jonathan Bandabaila, 19, was last seen leaving his Oakland home on May 3, 2019, reportedly heading to a soccer tournament. His silver 1998 Honda Accord was found abandoned on the San Mateo Bridge early the next morning. Witnesses said someone was seen sitting or standing on the bridge guardrail, but when the California Highway Patrol arrived there was no one in or around the vehicle.

The car was not searched until days later; inside officers found Bandabaila’s duffel bags and passport. Searches of the water beneath the bridge turned up no trace, and his phone and bank accounts have not been used since his disappearance. His family disputes an initial theory that he jumped, stating he was in good mental and physical health at the time. The Oakland Police Department continues to investigate; the case remains unsolved.

If anyone saw Jonathan on or near the San Mateo Bridge on May 3 or has information about his movements that day, please come forward.
