Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP14355) and 1 other source
Michael John Nangle, aged 37, was last seen on September 26, 1995, in San Francisco, California. His disappearance remains a mystery, with limited details available about the circumstances. His rental car was found abandoned on the Golden Gate Bridge, with footprints leading from the vehicle to the bridge's railing. A search conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard did not yield any results, and Nangle has not been heard from since. The case is classified as suspicious due to the location and the possibility of a jump from the bridge, which is often associated with suicides in that area.

Despite efforts to locate him, no substantial clues have emerged, and the investigation remains open. Nangle's case has been included in missing persons databases, but the lack of leads has left the case unsolved for decades.

Last Seen: Sep 26, 1995
