Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP35475) and 7 other sources
Adam Li, a 26-year-old man from San Francisco, California, was last seen on September 15, 2016. He was last spotted on 45th Avenue between Fulton and Cabrillo Streets in the Richmond District, and he lived in the Sunset District at the time. Li, a Chinese-American male, stood 5'7" tall, weighed around 145 pounds, and was wearing a white button-down shirt, black pants, a black apron, and black and white Converse shoes when he disappeared.

Li suffered from bipolar disorder and depression, which deeply concerned his family. He had previously gone missing once before, but he was found the same day. His family reported that he had poor social skills and could become frightened and run if approached suddenly. After his disappearance, his cell phone briefly pinged near 42nd Avenue and Clement Street, but it was soon turned off, and no further leads emerged from that area.

Despite efforts by both his family and the San Francisco Police Department, no significant information has surfaced regarding his whereabouts. His case remains unsolved, and authorities encourage anyone with information to contact local law enforcement.
