Help find Sean Sidi

We need your help to find our son

A Picture of SEAN SIDI is worth a 1,000 words...


Thanks to fliers being posted by all of you, tips continue to be called in. Two tips were called in over the last 3 days. 1 tip was called in from Novato and 1 from San Francisco.   In both cases, the caller thought the person they saw resembled Sean - but was not sure. (THANK YOU to those who called in the tips!!) 

WE DESPERATELY NEED A CONFIRMED SIGHTING OF SEAN.

IF YOU THINK THAT SOMEONE RESEMBLES SEAN, PLEASE TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOUR CELL PHONE. TEXT THE PICTURE TO 415.713.5913 or email lynnkching@yahoo.com. NOTE THE LOCATION, DATE AND EXACT TIME OF THE SEAN SIGHTING. PLEASE CALL ALL TIPS IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 

MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THEY KEEP A PICTURE OF SEAN'S FLIER AND STORE IT IN THEIR CELL PHONE FOR REFERENCE. 

We know that it is NOT easy to recognize Sean, and that some of you have gone to extreme lengths to help us find Sean. One person stopped his car in the middle of traffic, before the on- ramp (in SF) to the freeway, blocked traffic, and ran across several lanes of traffic, when he thought he saw "SEAN". Upon catching up with "SEAN" and taking a closer look, he realized that he was mistaken. By that time a police officer was running towards him. Fortunately, for him - when explaining why he had stopped his car in the middle of traffic - the POLICE recognized the name (Missing) Sean SIDI, and let him go with a stern warning! 

We do not have many post-injury photos of Sean, but have posted as many as we have. Below is a description of SEAN SIDI, missing from San Francisco, CA May 21, 2013: 

Sean is 19 yrs old, Asian/White 5'5", 120 lbs slim build;
dark brown eyes; dark brown WAVY hair (AFRO if untrimmed);
BUMP on right forehead from brain surgery;
wears SILVER DENTAL BRACES;
RIGHT eye droops slightly;
has DIMPLES.

UPDATE: SEAN SIDI VIDEO SURVEILLANCE AT PEETS SAN RAFAEL AND LAUREL VILLAGE, SAN FRANCISCO


We were in contact with managers at PEETS in San Rafael this weekend. Over the last 2 days, PEETS’ explanation as to WHO previously viewed the video – IF AT ALL- has changed several times. We are unsure as to why this is occurring and hope to get coherent answers this week.

The vendor at Laurel Village SF has indicated that we must provide exact DATE and TIME (within an hour) to access video surveillance. With the permission of the person who provided the tip, we have asked the vendor to access purchase information to attempt to pin down date/time. A week has elapsed with no answers. 

THANK YOU to so many of you who have posted in Marin!!!! Apparently, the fliers near the San Rafael/3rd Street PEETS location are being pulled down within 1 - 2 days. However, it appears that you all are reposting!! 

We have been told that BOLINAS remains an overlooked area – and one with a lot of homeless people. If anyone knows people who live in the area, willing to post Sean’s missing fliers, please have them email lynnkching@yahoo.com, and we will mail a packet of fliers to them. 

Over the course of the last several months, we have had several (unconfirmed) sightings and the 'strong scent find' of the search and rescue (SAR) dogs. While NONE of the sightings have been confirmed, in the absence of other information, we remain hopeful that Sean is still ALIVE. That being said, doctors have warned that Sean DOES NOT have time on his side. 

Please keep an eye out for SEAN SIDI, particularly among people living on the streets or in the parks. Sean is Asian/Caucasian, 19 years old, 5’5”, 120 lbs, slim build; dark brown eyes and dark brown wavy hair (AFRO looking if not trimmed); he wears SILVER DENTAL BRACES; has a BUMP on right forehead from brain surgery; right eye droops slightly; and has dimples.   See www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi for more information on the search for critically injured Sean Sidi, age 19, missing from San Francisco, CA May 21, 2013. 

If you think that you see Sean, please text or email a PICTURE of “SEAN” to 415.713.5913 or lynnkching@yahoo.com. REMEMBER, TO ACCESS SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS, we will need the DATE, TIME and LOCATION of the “Sean sighting”.

Second Sean SIDI Sighting Being Investigated

Yesterday, we reported a tip received from someone in San Rafael (Marin) about an older white male, with a mixed race (white/asian) teen at Peet's Coffee in San Rafael on or about January 4, 2014.  See Post of January 12, 2014. 

Later that evening, someone else reported seeing an older white male, with someone  resembling Sean.  This sighting occurred @ Dec 19, 2013 at Laurel Village, San Francisco.

We are attempting to secure video surveillance at both locations.

Please keep an eye open for Sean SIDI, age 19, missing from San Francisco, CA May 21, 2013. Sean suffered a severe traumatic brain injury prior to going missing and is urgent need of medical care.  Sean is white/asian, 5'5", 120 lbs, dark brown wavy hair, dark brown eyes, wears silver dental braces, has dimples, slight bump on right forehead from brain surgery.

WOULD YOU RECOGNIZE SEAN SIDI?


It has been 8 long months since Sean SIDI, age 19, vanished without a trace from San Francisco, CA, on May 21, 2013. This morning, I was speaking to a friend (who had not met Sean in person) on the telephone while she was driving (hands free, of course). All of a sudden she pulled to the side and made a U turn, as she thought that she had seen Sean. She was not sure whether it was Sean, but was unwilling to let him escape. "Sean" noticed her following him in her car and approached her car window. My friend told "Sean" that he looked like the missing person she was seeking. "Sean" indicated that he was NOT a missing person. Undeterred, my friend asked "Sean" whether he wore braces. "Sean" said 'no'. My friend finally allowed "Sean" to leave.

THE POINT IS THAT IT IS NOT SO EASY TO RECOGNIZE SEAN, made harder if he has been living on the streets for the past 8 months.

BEFORE SEAN'S ACCIDENT: FOR THOSE WHO KNEW SEAN IN HIGH SCHOOL (JUNE 2012) AND BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, Sean wore his hair SHORT and did not wear dental braces.

AFTER SEAN's ACCIDENT IN DEC 2012, Sean grew his hair LONG to cover the scars. He also agreed to put on dental braces (again) to correct a problem with his bite which occurred when his jaw continued to grow after his braces were taken off in 9th grade.

SUMMARY; SEAN SIDI, AGE 19, WOULD LIKELY HAVE LONG HAIR, LOOKING LIKE AN AFRO IF IT HAS NOT BEEN TRIMMED FOR 8 MONTHS.  Sean does not grow much facial hair.  WE ARE ASSUMING HE IS STILL WEARING DENTAL BRACES. HE IS 5'5" AND 120 LBS, DK BROWN HAIR (WAVY) AND DK BROWN EYES. SEAN HAS DIMPLES. HE COULD BE WEARING SUNGLASSES (not sure if he had any with him).  HE WILL BE LIKELY LOOKING LOST OR OUT OF SORTS. 

SEAN IS ASIAN, FRENCH AND ITALIAN. 

PLEASE COMPARE THE (top photo) PRE-INJURY PHOTO (taken @June 2012) with the SHORT HAIR (for those who knew Sean in high school), with the POST INJURY photo taken about 3 months after Sean's accident (@March 2013) WITH LONGER HAIR AND DENTAL BRACES.

HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL ASSIST IN RECOGNIZING SEAN. PLEASE CALL & TEXT (415.713.5913) or email lynnkching@yahoo.com, if you think you see Sean.

WHY ARE WE SEARCHING FOR SEAN SIDI?

 

It seems obvious to US why we are searching for Sean. However, a few (not many, but we felt we should address this) romantics (skeptics) have implied that Sean has left to start a new life, a life of independence. 

TO THOSE WHO QUESTION WHY WE ARE SEARCHING FOR SEAN, ASK YOURSELVES WHETHER YOU WOULD SEARCH FOR YOUR CHILD, UNDER THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES:

1. Sean, age 19, has no need to 'run away'. He is legally an adult.

2. On May 21, 2013, the day that Sean vanished without a trace, Sean made an appointment with his teacher to return to school the next day to upload some films (i.e. Sean INTENDED TO RETURN THE NEXT DAY). Sean's teacher has confirmed this.

3. Sean's cell phone, bank card, email, facebook and all electronic means of communication have NOT been accessed since he vanished. For those who know Sean, this in and of itself is a BIG WORRY. Point and case, shortly after emerging from his coma after the accident, and barely able to walk, or open his eyes, Sean asked for his cell phone. 

4. Sean's neurosurgeon has confirmed in writing to San Francisco Police that Sean's medical condition puts him at RISK OF DEATH (on the streets). Sean's doctors have also confirmed that Sean's severe traumatic brain injury puts him at risk of OTHER COMPLICATIONS (i.e. seizures, memory loss, etc).

To date there has been NO confirmed sighting of Sean (SAR finding or not). IF Sean is still alive, and based on information from doctors, we anticipate that Sean is not cognizant of his circumstance (i.e. TOO ILL to know that he needs help) and in need of medical care. 

Upon finding Sean, and upon medical opinion that Sean is physically and mentally sound, we will (as we have for Sean's ENTIRE life) support Sean in his endeavors - whatever that may be.

UNTIL THEN, we will continue to search for Sean (SIDI).

In Hope,

Lynn and Claude Sidi

SEARCH AND RESCUE DOGS PICK UP SEAN SIDI’S SCENT

SEARCH AND RESCUE DOGS PICK UP SEAN SIDI’S SCENT – PLEASE SHARE

Given Sean’s traumatic brain injury and other pre-existing medical conditions at the time Sean went missing from San Francisco, CA on May 21, 2013, there was serious concern whether Sean was still alive.

 

Last week, a search and rescue dog team came to San Francisco to search for Sean.  This team has worked with the FBI on many missing person cases.  To our amazement, the dogs made a “strong scent” find [of Sean] in various parts of San Francisco.  The strong scent finds occurred -  near and around hippy hill (Golden Gate Park;  near and around the small park at Octavia/Fell;  near and around the Presidio near Mountain Lake;  near and around 1801 Wedemeyer (in the Presidio); and near and around Lake Street between 11th and 15th Avenue. 

 

We have been informed that a “strong scent” find means that an item belonging to Sean or Sean himself was at the “find site” WITHIN 6 WEEKS of the find (scent would fade after 6 weeks).   While there is always room for error, the lead handler said that based on the dogs’ behavior, she strongly believes that the dogs had picked up Sean’s (and not someone else’s) scent.

 

In the context of other tips received, we are SEEKING HELP IN POSTING SEAN’S FLIERS ANYWHERE THAT YOU MAY BE LOCATED, WITH A FOCUS (1) IN SAN FRANCISCO AND (2) ALONG HWY 1 & HWY 101 NORTH THROUGH MARIN & SONOMA COUNTY. 

 

The dogs’ “find” has given us hope that Sean is still alive.  On the other hand, comments from those providing tips indicate that “Sean” appears in need of medical care.  

 

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW.  IF YOU CAN, PLEASE HELP POST SEAN’S FLIERS. 

 

To have Sean’s missing person fliers mailed to you, email lynnkching@yahoo.com.   Fliers can also downloaded from www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi.
