Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP36072) and 5 other sources
Issam Ibrahim Atieh, aged 22, was last seen on December 9, 1984, in San Francisco, California. Atieh, who was of Saudi Arabian descent, was last seen at a beach in the area. On the day of his disappearance, he was wearing a light gray jacket, matching dress pants, a white dress shirt, and black shoes. He also had a mustache at the time. Investigators suspect that Atieh may have drowned, though his body has never been recovered, leaving the exact circumstances of his disappearance unclear.

Issam, also known by the nickname "Sam," remains listed as an endangered missing person. Authorities have not ruled out foul play, but no substantial evidence has surfaced to suggest what happened after he was last seen. His case has remained unsolved for decades, and no new information has come to light that would explain his disappearance. Despite investigations by the San Francisco Police Department, his case remains open.

Issam's case is still listed in missing person databases, and efforts continue to gather information that might lead to closure. However, the lack of physical evidence and the long passage of time have complicated these efforts.
