San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and the 17th most populous city in the United States…
Those stats come from 2022. Basically… It’s a huge city.
I’m a native of California, born and raised here and I am no stranger to the majestic city of San Francisco.
As a matter of fact… I know it all too well.
Any large city comes with its share of urban legends. In San Francisco, you’ll hear urban legends like
The Golden Gate Park Ghost, The Chinatown Tunnels, and how people mysteriously disappear in the large city.
But missing people may not be an urban legend… The San Francisco Police Department’s missing persons unit
has over 900 cases of missing persons… Dating back to 1976. Most open cases involve male adults, a little over
30% are women and nearly 20% are juveniles. The city of San Francisco saw its highest level of disappearances in
the 2000s. This leads me to the topic of this episode. We are going to explore each individual within the California
missing 5. I will guide you through each young man’s last known whereabouts…. And then… I’ll leave it to you all to
help these men find their way home or justice for their families… Either way, we just can’t leave this Unexplained….
On May 15th, 2010, Jackson Alexander Miller left his family’s home in Cupertino, California. This is roughly a 46-mile drive. Around 4:10 pm, Jackson parked his 2004 Silver Honda Pilot in the parking lot at the Golden Gate Bridge. But this was the last time Jackson was seen.
In his car, he left behind his wallet, cell phone, and iPod. His keys were not located.
Jackson’s family described him as intelligent, very strong-willed but gentle. Throughout his teenage years, he excelled in sports, particularly swimming, track, soccer, and wrestling. Unfortunately, Jackson also struggled with anxiety and feeling insecure. At 19 years old, sometime before his disappearance, Jackson had stopped taking his prescription medication. Soon he would begin suffering through sleepless nights, erratic behavior, and became increasingly paranoid.
The day he drove to the Golden Gate Bridge, cameras picked up his vehicle driving in, but they also showed Jackson walking to a nearby bus stop and that’s the last sighting of him…
A few days later, sightings were reported of a young man matching Jackson’s description. If it was him, he was still in San Francisco. After these sightings, it seemed Jackson was just gone…
Nearly 11 years went by…
On Friday, March 26th, 2021 around 2:20 pm a male matching Jackson’s description was seen at a Target store in Woodland, California. Woodland is roughly, more than 90 miles away from San Francisco.
He approached a woman in the parking lot identified himself as Jackson and stated he was a missing person. He also asked her for a cigarette and a ride to Sacramento. She did not give him a ride.
On our website unexplainedrealms.com I will have the surveillance photo of this man. He was wearing black pajama pants with shamrocks on them and a green pullover sweater.
After this sighting, an area business owner contacted authorities stating a man matching the same description had entered her store and was asking around for a ride to Los Angeles. When no one offered he left.
There has been nothing more reported regarding Jackson. If you see Jackson or know anything about his whereabouts or disappearance, call Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division at 408-808-4500.
On October 6th, 2011, 29-year-old Cameron Remmer was headed to San Francisco. He planned to start a medical marijuana company.
Cameron was the youngest of four siblings, single, had no children, and struggled with bipolar disorder for quite some time. He had been hospitalized in the past as the condition would cause him to hallucinate or become agitated and withdrawn. At the time of his disappearance, he was on medications to assist him with his condition, though the medication could include episodes of psychosis.
Cameron lived in a beach community called Leucadia. It was located in Encinitas, California. Encinitas is a 7-hour drive to San Francisco… Roughly 483 miles one way.
On October 1st, Cameron flew from Encinitas to San Francisco. He wanted to start his own medical marijuana company. He traveled alone and brought $30,000 cash and 60-70 packages of marijuana.
He reserved a room at the Fairmont Hotel and had checked in. On October 6th, Cameron is drinking at the hotel bar and is behaving erratically, the staff asks him to leave. He checks out of the hotel but does not take any of his belongings with him. He tells the hotel staff he will pick it up in a few days.
On this night, he would call a friend in Arizona and ask him to pay for a hotel room to stay, but then suddenly changed his mind.
By October 7th, his family had not heard from him. This was unusual as Cameron typically called his family daily. The family begins to believe he may be having a psychotic break.
On October 9th, Cameron picks up his belongings from the Fairmont Hotel. He would retrieve, luggage, cash, and marijuana from the front desk. During this exchange, the front desk staff would describe Cameron as incoherent and babbling… They also said he was wearing two different shoes.
On October 11th, Cameron’s family reported him missing. His return flight was to leave on October 30th, but Cameron never boarded that flight and never made it home.
The Investigation Discovery Network’s series “Last Seen Alive” spotlighted Remmer’s case in an episode. The show’s producers hired private investigator Tom Klatt to further look into this case. During Klatt’s investigation, he found that Cameron had been in the Tenderloin area at a bar. He was with a woman he met in the city. This was 12 hours before his disappearance.
Now… Before we go any further, in 2023, the Tenderloin area of San Francisco is considered one of the worst parts of the city. In some ways, it’s always been associated with drug use and homelessness, but these days it’s much worse.
Cameron was 5’10, approximately 170lbs with Blonde hair. If you know anything about Cameron’s whereabouts, please call the San Francisco Police Department at 415-553-1071.
