Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP34459) and 5 other sources
Jason Jeremy Ross, aged 20, was last seen on March 2, 1991, at Portuguese Bend Beach in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Jason had gone to the beach with two other individuals, and after an argument, he fled into the ocean. According to reports, Jason attempted to swim around a cove during a stormy day with rough waters. Tragically, he was never seen again. Some accounts suggest that Jason was being chased by a man armed with a gun before he entered the ocean.

Jason was described as being 6 feet tall, weighing around 140 pounds, with brown, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing cut-off jean shorts. Despite searches and investigations, Jason's body was never recovered, and he remains listed as a missing person. His case has remained unsolved for over three decades, and authorities still seek any information that might provide answers regarding his fate.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department continues to handle Jason's case, and his family has kept his memory alive in hopes of finding closure. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the authorities.
