On July 15th 1955 Kees' Plymouth Savoy was found on the foggy north side of the Golden Gate Bridge, keys still in the ignition. When friends searched his apartment they found no signs of life or living, besides his cat Lonesome, and a pair of red socks soaking in the sink. His wallet, watch, savings account book, and sleeping bag were missing. He left no note. To this day no one is entirely sure if Weldon Kees jumped of the Golden Gate Bridge, or went to Mexico to start a new life, as he'd often threatened. Rumors and sightings circulated for many years.
