Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP37956) and 6 other sources
James Howard Boyle, a 26-year-old man, went missing on February 5, 1983, while visiting the Marin Headlands, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Marin County, California. On that day, Boyle and his girlfriend, Stacey Lee Lynch, were exploring the area when they are believed to have accidentally fallen from the cliffs into the Pacific Ocean. The rough and dangerous terrain near the cliffs has led authorities to suspect that both were swept into the ocean, though their bodies were never recovered.

Boyle was 5'9", 140 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He had previously suffered injuries, including broken pinkies and a crushed left foot. Despite extensive searches and investigations over the years, no trace of Boyle or Lynch has been found. The couple’s disappearance remains classified as an endangered missing person case.

Investigations have been ongoing since 1983, but with no conclusive evidence, Boyle’s case remains unsolved. His family and authorities continue to seek any information that might help bring closure to this tragic incident.
