William Thomas Mckay, a 53-year-old developer for the Port of Redwood City, was last seen in Santa Clara, California on January 23, 1993. A housemate reported him missing that same day. The following day, the California Highway Patrol discovered Mckay's vehicle abandoned at Vista Point in Marin County, located at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge. Inside the car, a note was found that indicated he was despondent and felt unable to cope with his life.
At the time of his disappearance, Mckay was facing significant personal and professional challenges. His development business was experiencing financial difficulties and losing money. Additionally, his daughter was battling cancer and had undergone surgery around the time he went missing. It was noted as uncharacteristic of him that he was not present at the hospital to support her during her operation.
Investigators have considered the possibility that Mckay may have jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge, though his body has never been recovered. It is also considered possible that he chose to disappear and start a new life elsewhere. William Thomas Mckay was described as a White male, 6'2" tall, weighing 220 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes. He wore glasses. He holds a bachelor's degree from Santa Clara University and a law degree from Lincoln University. His case remains unsolved, and the Santa Clara Police Department is the investigating agency.
