On December 28, 2006, the city of San Francisco became the backdrop for a perplexing mystery that remains unsolved to this day—the disappearance of Willie Blakes. At the age of 52, Willie vanished without a trace, leaving behind a myriad of unanswered questions and a void in the lives of those who knew him.
