Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP29339) and 4 other sources
William Wright North, aged 47, was last seen on April 22, 1999, in Duncan Mills, California. He had planned to travel to the beach to celebrate Earth Day and was last observed hitchhiking in the area. The day after his disappearance, on April 23, his gray backpack was discovered abandoned in the north parking lot of Goat Rock Beach in Jenner, California. Despite extensive search efforts, there was no sign of North at the scene.

At the time of his disappearance, North was dealing with depression, and this may have played a role in his case. He was wearing a multi-colored Hawaiian shirt, Levi's jeans, black shoes, and carrying the backpack that was later found. Standing 5'11" and weighing 160 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes, North has not been seen or heard from since that day. His disappearance remains unsolved, and the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate.

If anyone has information regarding his case, they are encouraged to contact the authorities.
