Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4586) and 7 other sources
Robin Ansel Reed, a 15-year-old sophomore from Petaluma, California, went missing on January 24, 1995. He was last seen at school on that day. Robin is believed to have tragically taken his own life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. A suicide note he left behind expressed feelings of being unwanted. Although his body was never recovered, witnesses reported seeing someone matching his description jump from the bridge.

Robin had recently confided in a few close friends that he was gay, although he had not come out to his parents. His friends later revealed that Robin had endured years of bullying and harassment, which may have contributed to his feelings of isolation. Robin was deeply involved in his high school’s drama department and was known for his bright and funny personality. Following his disappearance, students at his high school established a Gay-Straight Alliance in his memory. His case is classified as lost or injured, and while there is little hope for recovery, his story continues to impact those who knew him.
