KTVU And Wires
SAN FRANCISCO —
The search for a Sacramento-area man who fell into the San Francisco Bay after leaving Monday night’s San Francisco Giants-Los Angeles Dodgers game with a friend has been suspended, authorities announced Tuesday.
San Francisco police told KTVU that the missing man was a 27-year-old from Woodland near Sacramento.
Fire Department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said the missing man and his friend had attended the Giants game and had parked at the end of Pier 32, just off the Embarcadero at Bryant Street.
After the game, they returned to their car at around 11 p.m.
The friend was on the phone in his car texting when the missing man stepped out of the vehicle and went to the edge of the pier.
When the man looked up, his friend was gone. He immediately called 911.
“He did not witness the fall,” Talmadge said. “It was dark and I don’t know if he could swim. If you are wearing clothes, you can get waterlogged pretty quickly.”
The fire department spokeswoman also said the current was running very quickly across the waterfront at the time the Hispanic man fell in.
“The tide was moving pretty quickly,” she said. “He could have gotten dragged out a ways (into the Bay (or got caught on something (under water).”
Talmadge said the man was wearing blue jeans, a blue jacket and white shirt when he was last seen.
A massive water search-and-rescue effort was launched by the Coast Guard and the San Francisco Fire Department, but the man could not be located overnight.
“There is no sign of him,” she said. “We are looking at this as a recovery. The family has been notified and they are enroute.”
Talmadge said there was no sign of foul play and that the friend was extremely distraught.
“Friend was very upset,” she told reporters. “They were very good friends.”
