Allison Bayliss, 15 Missing from Danville CA 5/23/1(Suicide/no body found so far

[Tracygirl]

A person close to my family knows the family of this missing girl.  She was last seen in the morning hours just prior to school starting, riding away on her bike. It is believed she traveled to San Francisco, most likely taking BART, a mass transit line into the city. Her bike was found locked up in a bike rack, near to the Golden Gate Bridge and pedistrian walkway. Of course the hope is she did not go there to commit suicide.  
Here is a link to the news story on it. Not sure if I can copy and paste from this news site.

Missing Danville Teen’s Bike Found In San Francisco
May 24, 2011

DANVILLE, Calif. -- A massive search for a missing Danville teenager moved to San Francisco early Tuesday after her abandoned mountain bike was found near Crissy Field.

Allison "Alliy" Bayliss’ father, David, said a note left by the 15-year-old girl on her computer had led the family and searchers to San Francisco’s Presidio area. David Bayliss and a friend had searched about two miles of the waterfront before finding the purple and black Diamondback mountain bike locked in a stand.

“We found the bike,” David Bayliss told KTVU as he stood with San Francisco police officers near Crissy Field. “We found a note on her computer with directions to this location.”

National Park Service spokesman Howard Levitt said the bike was found at about 4:45 a.m. in the Battery East parking lot, just to the east of the Golden Gate Bridge on the San Francisco side.

The area was now being searched by U.S. Park Police, park service rangers, San Francisco police and others, Levitt said

It appears LE believes Allison did jump to her death. There is evidence, camera's I am supposing, that places Alliy entering the bridge but not her exiting.
I hope and pray they find her body so her family can at least bury her. My heart goes out to her friends and to her family as they try to somehow come to terms with this. I have had a friend commit suicide and the guilt left behind is a horrible burden.
Alliy what ever it was that was hurting you in life, I pray that it has been replaced with peace. I am sorry, so very sorry.....

Tracygirl,
Sorry to have to inform you, but they think this little girl may have jumped to her death.  They have evidence that she walked on to the golden gate bridge but they don't have evidence that she walked off.  There was also a rumor that the boy that jumped off the bridge a few months ago (and said he has jumped off other bridges before and is good at it???)  and survived had just visited SRVHS last week.  I hope that is not how Alliy got the idea.

I have a junior attending high school in Danville.  It is a close knit town, but the pressure on teens is incredible.  The AP classes are too numerous to count, and the sports produce some of the best athletes in the nation.  Add to the problem that kids can't get into a UC school unless they have over a 4.0 GPA, or get an athletic scholarship.   What a terrible tragedy.

The teen years are so difficult on so many levels, social pressures, school work, family pressures...Perhaps the topic of suicide should come out of the closet. Your right, this is a horrible tragedy but one that will eventually be repeated by another teen, desperate to end, what seems at the time to them, to be a hopeless situation.
I do not know Alliy, nor do I know what lead her to want to end her life. What I can gather though is she was very loved by her family and friends. She was into sports, was a creative person who did well in school. So how does a girl with so much support and so much going for her end up killing herself in such a violent way? this is what I want to know...no, I need to know because I have 5 children. This story has scared me.

  Theyhave not located her body yet.....how sad.

Theyhave not located her body yet.....how sad.

nope no body yet. I read something yesterday that bodies of suicide victims have washed to shore as far away as Santa Cruse. Of course some are never found...

I know people that went to the memorial yesterday, they say it was a nice ceremony but noted her mom was very grief stricken. My continued prayers go out to her, I can't imagine what she is going through.

[Tracygirl]

Not sure why I can't copy and post articles from my work computer, sorry. The link is to a beautifully written article about Alliys memorial held on Monday. There is also some of her artwork, she was a very talented girl.

I hope Alliy's body can be recovered and she can be laid to rest in peace.   

[Tracygirl]

Me too Muffybee, as far as I know nothing has been recovered so far. I would think perhaps clothing but  nothing has been found. I feel for her family...
