Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP27994) and 3 other sources
Tilotilo Faalupega Faoa, a 23-year-old man from San Francisco, was last seen on June 2, 2012. After a breakup with his girlfriend, Faoa reportedly expressed suicidal intentions. He was last observed on the Golden Gate Bridge, where he left behind his wallet and jacket. Tragically, witnesses saw him jump from the bridge, and although an extensive search was conducted, his body was never recovered. Due to the circumstances, his case has been classified as a "lost/injured missing" incident.

Faoa was described as a 5'11" to 6'0" tall Pacific Islander man, weighing between 245 and 265 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He had several distinctive features, including a chipped front tooth, a mole on his chin, and a tribal tattoo on his upper left arm. He was last seen wearing a green sweatshirt from the SF Conservatory, navy blue pants, and black sneakers.

Despite the searches and investigations, no physical evidence was found, leaving his family and authorities with no closure regarding his final resting place. His case remains open, though it is presumed that he perished after jumping from the bridge.
