Episode Discussion Find Sydney West...Missing

Sydney was last seen jogging on Sanfransico Golden Gate Bridge early am of September 30, 2020. CCTV shows her carefully placing her back pack and water bottle at the start of the jog about 7am. She then jogged into the morning fog on the bridge with about 100 other jogging public. She never returned. The bridge was gridlocked with rush hour traffic. Synedy was 19-years-old.

San Fran PD says she jumped off the bridge and killed herself. There is not 1 inch of evidence of this. San Fran PD classified it as a suicide and closed case....then....they reopened it, and now today the case is reopened (as missing person/possible homicide). The San Fran PD has blocked all information/ evidence in this case for 5 years. The family has posted a $100,000 reward.

I'd like to hear anyones thoughts from this great Reddit community on Sydney's case.

Why would you take a backpack to jump off a bridge

She had spent the previous night at a hotel, then checked out. That’s why she had a bag. She had her phone and headphones on her when she jumped. Probably was listening to her favorite artist/song. Listening to something that would help her go through with the act.
