Even though the bridge was busy with other runners and walkers, surveillance cameras showed her disappear into the fog. She has never been seen again. The police deemed it a suicide. But her family refuses to believe it. This is the story of Sydney West. At the time of her disappearance, Sydney was 5’10, 130 lbs, with light brown hair and blue eyes.
