Francis Brian Reilly was reported missing from San Francisco, California in late May 2021. The California Department of Justice missing persons entry lists him as a missing adult male, white, with brown hair and hazel eyes, approximately 6'4" and 185 pounds, born March 28, 1980, and last seen on May 22, 2021; the reporting agency is the San Francisco Police Department and a public case number is provided on the state listing.
Public-facing summaries of the case include very few circumstances about what happened leading up to his disappearance. The Charley Project classifies him as “lost/injured” and notes that there are limited details available, while also flagging an inconsistency about timing. That same summary says it is believed he died on the day he disappeared, but that his body has not been recovered.
In addition to missing-person listings, an obituary published by The Star-Ledger and mirrored on Legacy.com identifies Francis Brian Reilly as being of San Francisco, California and reports that he died at age 41 in late May 2021. These notices present the death as a family-confirmed fact, but they do not, on their own, resolve why some official/public databases continued to list him as missing afterward—something that can occur when a person is believed deceased yet remains unrecovered, or when records are not updated uniformly across systems.
Taken together, the available online record paints a painful, incomplete picture: an adult last seen in San Francisco in May 2021, with sparse public details about the events surrounding the disappearance, alongside reporting that he likely did not survive and may never have been physically located. For anyone who may hold relevant information, the state listing and The Charley Project both point the public to the San Francisco Police Department as the investigating agency.Last Seen: May 22, 2021
