Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP33504) and 3 other sources
Jack Allen Hilton, a 25-year-old man, was last seen on May 6, 1983, in San Francisco, California. Hilton, who was battling depression and was reported to be suicidal at the time, is believed to have possibly jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge. He has not been heard from since. Authorities initially suspected that Hilton may have taken his own life, though his body was never recovered, a common outcome in such cases involving the bridge.

Hilton was described as being 5'10" tall, weighing around 160-165 pounds, with blonde hair and brown eyes. There is limited information available about the specific circumstances leading up to his disappearance, and dental or fingerprint records are not available to aid in identification. The San Francisco Police Department is the lead investigating agency in this case, which remains open.

Despite the passage of decades, no new developments have emerged, and Hilton's case is still classified as a "Lost/Injured Missing" person.
