Help find Sean Sidi

We need your help to find our son

Search for Sean SIDI, February 22, 2016

2 years, 8 months, 28 days. 

Yes, there are days when we are so weighed down by grief that we think we cannot possibly rebound. 

But we have found that words of HOPE can sometimes come from unexpected places...

On one particularly bad day, a HOMELESS man stopped me on the street. He said that he recognized me and that he knew that I was the mom of a "missing boy with the head injury." I told him a mother's pain at the loss of her child is indescribable. He looked at me and said "fathers too" can relate to that pain, then proceeded to inform me that he had a daughter and did not know how he would cope if she went missing. 

He encouraged me to hold onto HOPE and to NEVER GIVE UP...... 

Sean is out there somewhere and we will search for him till the end of our days.

Update: San Francisco Police Issues BOLO for SEAN SIDI - January 16, 2016

San Francisco Police has issued another nationwide BOLO (Be On the Lookout) for Sean.    

    

People often ask how we cope.  Truthfully, it's been a very long 2.5+ years - missing Sean so much, but barely being able to look at his picture, or talk about him - for all the pain memory brings.    

 

 

We know with 100% certainty that Sean did not vanish into thin air on May 21, 2013, from Golden Gate Park (SF-CA).  Our search for Sean will continue for as long as it takes to get answers. 

 

If you would like to help in the search for Sean, please SHARE Sean's flier with a shelter or food kitchen - anywhere in the U.S.  We will provide fliers to anyone requesting them: 415.713.5913 or lynnkching@yahoo.com Truly, EVERY FLIER COUNTS.

SEARCH FOR SEAN SIDI - NOVEMEMBER 15, 2015

THIS WEEK:   Prayers to those in Paris & France.   Most of you know that Paris (France) is near and dear to Sean's heart due to family & friend connections, his French School education, and much time spent there...I think that the picture of Sean's bedroom wall - (WHICH Sean put up & kept on his bedroom wall since middle school) speaks loudly.  If Sean is here amongst us, I am sure that he is praying for ALL those in Paris..& for his family and friends and their loved ones...

 

LAST WEEK we started our "Socks for Sean" winter drive.    We are collecting thick warm WOOL socks (wool is much warmer than cotton)  to donate to the homeless (along with other donated hygiene items & Sean's FLIER).   If you would like to donate a PAIR of thick wool socks, please mail or drop your donation to:

SEARCH for Sean SIDI - NOVEMBER 8, 2015

Update re: Oakland, CA tip

The person who called in the "SEAN" tip (Oakland, CA) went back to the Oakland, CA location in an attempt to find & get a PHOTO of the young man resembling Sean. Unfortunately, she was NOT able to locate the young man.  However, persuaded the Oakland Public Library (in area) to post Sean's flier.   

 

Each of these FAILED tips - as vital as they are - is another knife wound to our heart. We are not certain of "next steps", but are thankful to all of you who keep Sean alive in your hearts and who let us know that Sean has not been forgotten.

August 22, 2015 Update re: Oceanside, CA Search for SEAN SIDI

The surveillance shots we viewed (at Vista Sprinter Station) based on the caller's time, place etc. - were NOT Sean. We emailed the shots to the person who CALLED IN the sighting and he does not believe the screen shots (we sent 2 different persons) was the "Sean" that he saw..however, we did not see any other 'match'. The code enforcement officer did not recall speaking to someone meeting our Sean's description. Therefore, and while the search continues in Oceanside, CA - the sighting remains UNCONFIRMED. 

We don't know how our "story" will end. We do know that we have to pursue every viable lead, because the ONE time that we DON'T follow a lead - is the 1 time that it WILL be SEAN. 

PHOTOS remain the best way to confirm a sighting. ANY PHOTO at ANY ANGLE (send 415.713.5913). BEST WAYS TO SPOT SEAN:

1. BIG HAIR - WAVY & BIG when LONG. SEE PHOTO of Sean's dad and Sean as baby. Compare to photo with SHORT hair (PHOTO). 

2. DIMPLES - Law enforcement commented how obvious these were even when Sean is NOT smiling.

3. BRACES - If they are still on - they are silver.

4. BI-LINGUAL IN FRENCH - If you speak to Sean in French, particularly if you are a native speaker, he will almost ALWAYS respond in French...

5. OTHER: slim build, right eye droops slightly, bump on right forehead from accident. He may NOT know his name.

6. ANYWHERE - CASES have proven - missing persons, particularly those with head injuries, can end up VERY FAR from home, even with no money. 

Thank you ALL for your help, prayers and support.

NEW INFORMATION re Oceanside Sighting of Sean SIDI

 

NEW INFO for 3rd sighting: The person who called in the 3rd sighting of "Sean" at the East bound Sprinter has confirmed the LOCATION of the sprinter station that he saw "Sean" (on Sat 8/8) as - OLIVE and E Vista Way, which I have been told is in VISTA CA next to Oceanside.. This information will hopefully make it possible to locate "Sean" on surveillance tapes. We will keep you updated. 

 

STATUS OF 2ND SIGHTING: Unfortunately, the caller who called in the 2nd sighting of "Sean" at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses in/near Oceanside, CA, has not called me back. Fliers have been distributed to the Kingdom Halls in the area. 

We contacted Tri City Hospital and await a response as to whether Sean or anyone meeting his description was treated there. 

Thank you to so many who have helped us spread the word to friends & family and/or have posted/distributed Sean's fliers. We will update you with any new developments.
