Bailey Cameron, a 23-year-old Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton, California, went missing on August 25. He was last seen at the Coyote Bar and Grill in Carlsbad, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. His belongings were found a block away from the bar the next day. Cameron, who was preparing to leave the Corps on September 9, is described as 6 foot 1 inch tall, weighing 190 pounds, with green eyes and brown hair. His family has been actively searching for him and have received unconfirmed sightings of him around the base, with one Marine reporting that he saw Cameron running toward the ocean in apparent distress on August 31.
Surveillance footage has shown Cameron at an ATM on base on August 28, three days before the Marine reported seeing him in distress. His family has been pleading for information about his whereabouts and have been working with local authorities, military officials, and the Navy Criminal Investigative Service to find him. His parents have flown from Washington D.C. to Camp Pendleton in search of their son and have vowed to remain until he is found. The RAD Movement, a nonprofit organization helping families find missing relatives, has also been involved in efforts to locate Cameron.
Cameron’s parents have been relying on the support of the community and social media to spread awareness about their son’s disappearance. Emotions are running high as they continue their search, expressing concern for his well-being and urging anyone with information to come forward. Carlsbad Police Department has provided a contact number for any tips related to Cameron’s disappearance. Military officials and local law enforcement are actively investigating the case and working together to bring Cameron home safe. The family’s plea for help and the ongoing search effort demonstrate the strength and determination to find their son and ensure his safety.
