Help find Sean Sidi

UNCONFIRMED SEAN SIDI SIGHTING 

Yesterday, Joseph, a long-time resident of San Francisco, advised me that at @ 3:40 pm, he saw someone resembling Sean in San Francisco at 9th and Brannan St. while driving. Joseph sent me a FB message shortly thereafter, but for some reason I did not see it. “Sean” was carrying a small external framed backpack, and wearing dark pants and a light colored T-shirt. Due to traffic restrictions, Joseph was unable to turn around to confirm the sighting with a photo. Moreover, given that there are VERY FEW OF SEAN’S fliers posted in San Francisco FOR ANY DURATION, it took time for him to locate my contact information. 

Wherever you are, please keep an eye out for “Sean” and send a PHOTO of “Sean” to 415.713.5913 or lynnkching@yahoo.com, if there is a chance that someone may be OUR Sean.

Thank you to Joseph and to so many of you FOR CARING and for KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR SEAN!!! I STRONGLY BELIEVE WITH ALL MY HEART THAT OUR BEST CHANCE OF FINDING SEAN RESTS WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC.    TIME AND TIME AGAIN, MISSING PERSONS HAVE BEEN located BY CARING CITIZENS.

The search for Sean CONTINUES. Today I spoke with Sean’s case manager at the ‘National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’ (NCMEC). NCMEC ‘s corporate partners, including WAL MART, are continuing to POST Sean’s NCMEC FLIER in the Western United States. See Sean’s NCMEC flier at:

IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS SEEN one of NCMEC’s fliers of Sean, CAN YOU please SEND ME A PHOTO & THE LOCATION?

We continue to HOPE, 

Lynn, Claude and Danielle Sidi

see www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi for more information on critically injured Sean SIDI (age 19) missing from San Francisco CA May 21, 2013. Sean may not know his name or his DIRE MEDICAL NEEDS due to a severe traumatic brain injury suffered shortly before going missing.  Email lynnkching@yahoo.com to have Sean's fliers mailed to you anywhere in the U.S. 

Picture of Sean with friends - he is in the CENTER of the group.

Last week, we and several hundred of SEAN'S Uncles, Aunts and Cousins from the Yan Quong Ching family - across the U.S. met in Hawaii for a family reunion (held every 2 years) spanning 5 days, and ending with a beach luau in Hauula!! So great to see everyone!! We would like to thank so many family members who have supported the SEARCH FOR SEAN over the last YEAR, and who came up to us during the reunion to offer words of support. 

Currently, we are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best as HURRICANE Iselle and Julio head towards Hawaii. The hurricanes will hopefully weaken to a survivable level….We are currently stocking food, filling containers with water & enjoying the LAST sunny day before the winds and rain HIT the island. 

We tried to fly out today to avoid the hurricane but could not secure a flight. Therefore, we join the masses in riding on the hurricane (hopefully not) or tropical storm (preferable to hurricane, but still scary)….. Thank you to JAN & FRED for housesitting! 

Regardless of how long we are hurricane bound, we HOPE that wherever you are - you will continue to search for SEAN. keep an eye out for him, and SHARE the posts. Recently, we received several comments regarding a GG park worker who believed she saw "Sean" near GG Park several months ago. This is unconfirmed. However, we will reinvigorate the search in this area in HOPES of reaching mobile street youth who many encounter Sean. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SEAN'S BRAIN INJURY stacks the ODDS of survival against him as per his neurosurgeon. HE is NOT "VOLUNTARILY" MISSING. NOR IS HE AWARE OF HIS MEDICAL NEEDS. PLEASE TAKE A PICTURE AND SEND TO 415.713.5913 if there is even a 1% chance it is Sean.    Sean is 20 yrs old, 5'5", 120 lbs., Asian/White, wears silver dental braces, dk brown eyes & dk brown wavy hair, scar on right forehead from brain injury.

You should be able to access the video even if you DO NOT have a facebook account.

It has been almost 15 months since Sean vanished.  The toll on every person in our family has been horrendous. 

No one deserves to go missing.   No family should have to live through this nightmare... We hope that one day we will be able to write all of you to say that Sean has been found SAFE!!!

Special thanks to Cynthia Caron and Lostnmissing for the video & for helping us bring awareness to Sean (Sidi) & 4 other young men missing from San Francisco:  Crishtian Hughes, Shawn Dickerson, Cameron Remmer, Jackson Miller, collectively known as the 'California 5'.

Today, Claude (Sean's dad), Danielle (Sean's sister) and Danielle's friends are out water skiing, swimming and tubing on Lake Sonoma. It makes me happy to know that Danielle is smiling and laughing with her friends...

I am desperately working on regaining some sense of ...?? healing?? happiness?? Not sure what the words are. Unfortunately, I do not know if that is possible given the depth of my sense of loss.

I thought I knew love - until Sean (my firstborn) & his sister arrived.. There are no words to describe THAT feeling is there? That - that love could burn even brighter and stronger as time passed - was amazing!! All parents know what I am saying. In the back of my mind, I knew those feeling made me vulnerable to incomparable pain should something happen to Sean (or Danielle). But how could it? Like every parent, I took every care and precaution I could!!!

I still cannot believe that this happened to my funny, articulate, personable boy - who made us smile and laugh so much?!!! Last week a family found their 18 year old autistic son who went missing in Los Angleles - 20 days after he went missing. He was dehydrated and hurt, but ALIVE. WHY could WE not locate Sean when he needed us??!! How do we live with this guilt?

... I recently spoke to a cafe owner in Eugene OR who claimed to have seen someone resembling Sean. He did recall braces....& claims to have seen "Sean" late spring/early summer. On the other hand he says there are SO many street youth and MANY missing persons fliers in Eugene. I hope that he calls me if he sees "Sean" again.

THANK YOU to all those continuing to POST Sean's fliers. PLEASE send PICTURES & location so that we can POST. It is good to know where the fliers are. Claude saw a black & white flier in Berkeley yesterday - Please send PM or email lynnkching@yahoo.com with your ADDRESS to have fliers MAILED TO YOU anywhere in the U.S....I still have BOXES & BOXES of Sean's fliers.
