Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP27880) and 5 other sources
Gregory William Harding, a 55-year-old man from San Francisco, was last seen on October 10, 2014. He lived with his partner in the Civic Center area. That morning, Harding, who was recovering from the flu, stayed home while his partner went to work. He reportedly planned to visit the social services office to check on his disability check but was gone by the time his partner returned around 7:30 p.m. Harding left behind essential items, including his phone and HIV medication, which he needed daily, taking only his wallet and keys.

Gregory had been dealing with significant depression and financial difficulties prior to his disappearance, and those close to him noted that he had withdrawn from social activities, stopped taking care of himself, and had become reclusive. While there were no clear signs that he intended to harm himself, his mental state and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance have left many unanswered questions. Some speculated that he might have visited Buena Vista Park, a known meeting place for casual encounters, but it remains unclear whether this was part of his routine at the time.

Despite efforts from authorities and Gregory's loved ones, his case remains unsolved. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the San Francisco Police Department, as the search for answers continues after nearly a decade.
