Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP25225) and 5 other sources
Long Duong, a 21-year-old male, was last seen on January 31, 1998, at Bodega Head beach in Sonoma County, California. Duong was fishing from a rock when a large, thirteen-foot wave hit him and swept him out to sea. Despite an extensive two-day search of the area, no signs of Duong were found, and he is presumed to have drowned.

At the time of his disappearance, Duong had been living in Santa Rosa for about ten years. He worked in the meat department at G&G Supermarket in Santa Rosa. He was described as 5'4" tall, weighing around 110 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and white sweatpants.

Duong's case remains unresolved, with his body never recovered, but it is widely believed that he drowned in the Pacific Ocean during the incident.
Last Seen: Jan 31, 1998
