Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5345) and 8 other sources
Jerry Tang, a 39-year-old man from San Francisco, was last seen on November 29, 2005. He disappeared from his home on Ashbury Street, where he had been residing with his family. That morning, Jerry was reportedly seen at 8:00 a.m. and spoke to a family member by phone around 10:00 a.m. He was last known to have logged off his computer and left his residence at approximately 11:30 a.m. carrying his phone, wallet, keys, and about $80 in cash.

At the time of his disappearance, Jerry was dealing with significant stress due to health and financial issues. He had suffered a stroke two years prior, which left him prone to seizures requiring daily medication. His family was concerned that without his medication, he might experience disorientation or memory loss. Jerry's loved ones speculated that he might be homeless or suffering from amnesia, as there were a few unconfirmed sightings of him in San Francisco after his disappearance.

Jerry's case remains unsolved, but his family has not given up hope. His wife and children have actively campaigned to raise awareness, including holding vigils and organizing events in his memory. Some believe he may have traveled to the Boston area, where he had connections from his early life. Despite these efforts, no substantial leads have emerged to explain his disappearance.
