A tech CEO discovered dead two years after he took an Uber and vanished

A California tech CEO who inexplicably vanished two years ago was discovered dead, according to investigators.

In a deserted Santa Monica courtyard, the bones were found on April 25. The 39-year-old Beau Mann, the creator of the addiction and mental health app Sober Grid, was one of them, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.

Mann’s Michigan-based fiancé Jason Abate was the final person to get in touch with him. The following year, they intended to get married.

Abate spoke to Mann the night before his disappearance. ‘He told me he loved me, and he wanted to adopt children with me,’ Abate told NBC News in 2022. ‘That was the last message I ever got from him.’

Beau Mann's family said in a Sunday statement that the 39-year-old's remains were located about a mile from where his Uber dropped him off on Nov. 30, 2021.

Mann was last seen on November 30, 2021 around 2.00pm. He was spotted at a 7/11 convenience store on Ventura Boulevard, the Los Angeles Police Department said, over 15 miles away from where his remains were eventually discovered.

The store was only a short walk away from Sober Grid’s offices in Los Angeles. He got into an Uber after leaving the 7/11, where he texted a message to 911.

Mann’s fiancé began to worry about him when he stopped returning text messages. The LAPD performed a wellness check at the CEO’s apartment, but he was nowhere to be found.

Abate eventually filed a missing persons report on December 4.

The coroner’s office is still working to determine a cause of death for the CEO.

Mann founded Sober Grid, which bills itself as the ‘world’s largest recovery app,’ in 2015. ‘Simply put – Beau was our light,’ the company said in a post on Instagram. ‘After an experience in his early years with drugs and addiction, he turned his focus and passion towards helping others.’

They continued: ‘While he is no longer with us, we know Beau’s spirit will live on in Sober Grid’s mission to help those in need.’
