Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4556) and 8 other sources
Richardo Lupercio, aged 17, was last seen on March 10, 1984, at the Sutro Baths cliff area in San Francisco, California. He had been on a double date with his girlfriend, Denise Rodriguez, and another couple. While at the cliff area near the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Richardo leaned forward to embrace Denise, who was resting against a guardrail. Both tragically lost their balance and fell 30 to 50 feet onto the rocks and into the ocean below.

Although Richardo was briefly seen on the rocks, unable to move due to what he indicated was a back injury, both he and Denise were swept out to sea before rescue efforts could reach them. Despite extensive searches, neither of their bodies were ever recovered, and they are presumed to have drowned. Richardo was described as 5'8" tall, weighing 164 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, along with distinctive marks, including a scar on his upper left cheek and a blister on his upper lip.
