Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP35867) and 8 other sources
Jeffrey David Borthwick, a 19-year-old from San Francisco, California, was last seen at his home on April 30, 1982. Jeffrey, who had a mental disability, disappeared without a trace, and few details about his case have been made public. He was described as 6'1" tall, weighing 145 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he may have been wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt, and he was known to wear eyeglasses.

Jeffrey's case is classified as an endangered missing person, but there has been no significant progress in solving the mystery of his disappearance. Investigators have not ruled out foul play, but the lack of evidence has left his case unsolved for over four decades. Anyone with information is urged to contact the San Francisco Police Department to help bring closure to his family.
Last Seen: Apr 30, 1982
