Fog shrouded the Gold Gate Bridge the day UC Berkeley student Sydney West disappears.

Video shows the teen walking the bridge around 6:45 am, her image engulfed by the fog. 19-year-old West spoke to her family the night before. There has been no activity on her cell phone, social media, or bank account since 

There were a lot of people on the bridge that day, yet no one saw or heard anything.  What happened to Sydney?
