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.

PEETS EXPLAINS WHY THEY ERASED THE‘SEAN SIDI’ SURVEILLANCE TAPE


TODAY, a manager at PEETS San Rafael (3rd Street) released the final version of why Peets erased the “Sean sighting” video surveillance of January 4th. The final explanation differs from the earlier one - that a woman had viewed the surveillance tapes of Jan 4th, confirmed that Sean was not on the tape, and the tape was therefore erased. 

The FINAL VERSION released by Peets today is that last week San Rafael Police viewed the surveillance tape of January 4th (coincidentally the same day as the “Sean sighting” tape) related to the theft of an ipad. Supposedly one of the assistant managers at Peets was viewing the video surveillance at the time that San Rafael police were viewing the tape.

This assistant manager, who has NEVER met Sean in his life, and who did NOT have ANY details regarding the description of the “older white male” with whom “Sean” was sighted, decided (according to story) that the January 4th surveillance tape did not include any picture of “two young men” (i.e Sean), and the January 4th VIDEO of the “Sean sighting” was thereafter played over/erased.

IT IS BEYOND BELIEF THAT PEETS WOULD ERASE THE JANUARY 4TH TAPE BASED ON THE DECISION OF SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER MET SEAN, AND WHO DID NOT HAVE ANY DETAILS (other than that released on Facebook) of the WHITE MALE, ESPECIALLY AFTER WE REQUESTED AND PEETS AGREED TO HOLD THE JAN 4TH SURVEILLANCE TAPE FOR US TO VIEW.

The fact is, we were NOT looking for “two young men”.

The sighting was that of white/asian teen with an “older white male”. While we did not disclose the age of the “older white male” on our post, the person providing the tip estimated the age of the “older white male” as BETWEEN 45 and 55 YEARS OF AGE. 

WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU PLEASE CONTINUE TO POST SEAN’S FLIERS IN MARIN AND ELSEWHERE, AND KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR SEAN (alone or possibly in the company of others). While we DO NOT know whether the teen in the sighting was Sean, PLEASE BE MINDFUL of a white/asian teen (Sean is 19 years old) in the company of a 45-55 year old white male - possibly with a slight beard, blond/grey hair & (slight) beard, medium build/height with a disheveled appearance. 

Sean is 19 years old, asian/white, 5’5”, 120 lbs and slim build; dark brown eyes and dark brown wavy hair (AFRO if untrimmed); wears SILVER DENTAL BRACES; has dimples, BUMP on right forehead from brain surgery, RIGHT eye droops slightly. May seem lost or confused. 

FOR ANY SIGHTING, PLEASE NOTE THE DATE, TIME AND EXACT LOCATION. If you can, please take a PICTURE with your cell phone and text /email to 415.713.5913 or lynnkching@yahoo.com.

SEEKING INDIVIDUAL WHO VISITED PEETS COFFEE IN SAN RAFAEL TO VIEW SEAN SIDI VIDEO SURVEILLANCE

URGENT: PLEASE RESPOND IF YOU VISITED PEETS COFFEE IN SAN RAFAEL THIS WEEK TO VIEW A VIDEO SURVEILLANCE OF SEAN SIDI

Last week, someone reported a possible "Sean sighting" of a asian/white teen with an older man at PEETS coffee in San Rafael. See Post of January 13, 2014. I contacted PEETS on Monday, January 13th and they confirmed they would hold and make the video available to us. Due to illness and other unforseen issues, we and/or our PI were not able to make it to PEETS in San Rafael to view the video until today.

This morning, PEETS informed the private investigator directing the search for Sean (SIDI) that SOMEONE (whose description is unknown at this time) came into PEETS 2 days ago, viewed the video and said the person on the video was not Sean. 

NOW PEETS IN SAN RAFAEL IS SAYING THEY NO LONGER HAVE THE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE FOR US TO VIEW. 

Please contact me at 415.713.5913, lynnkching@yahoo.com or message me on FB, if you visited PEETS in San Rafael to view a video surveillance of the "Sean Sidi sighting". 

I will update this if further information comes in. 

For more information, see www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi.

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.

SEEKING HELP RE POSSIBLE SEAN SIDI SIGHTING IN SAN RAFAEL, MARIN


LAST NIGHT someone called in a possible "Sean sighting". This person was not aware of the search for Sean until seeing Sean's missing person flier in San Francisco, and then again in San Rafael, yesterday. Upon seeing the flier the second time in San Rafael (Marin) the caller felt compelled to call in a possible sighting. 

She described a mixed race (white/asian) teen in the company of an older white male at PEETS COFFEE in SAN RAFAEL (Marin). The teen was unresponsive and the older man kept pulling the teen towards him. 

THE CALLER WAS NOT SURE WHETHER THE TEEN WAS SEAN. (She could not recall whether the teen had dental braces, scar on forehead etc.) HOWEVER, SHE FELT COMPELLED TO ALERT US. 

WE ARE SEEKING HELP IN GETTING MORE INFORMATION SO THAT WE CAN CONFIRM OR DENY THE SIGHTING. IF YOU SEE SOMEONE MEETING THE FOREGOING DESCRIPTION, PLEASE CALL and/or TEXT PICTURE (or information) TO 415.713.5913 or email to lynnkching@yahoo.com.

UPDATED STATUS OF SEAN SIDI SIGHTINGS AND HOW YOU CAN HELP


Search & Rescue (SAR) dogs' 'strong scent' findings -

As posted earlier, the 'strong scent' SAR dog findings centered around: Hippy Hill at Golden Gate Park; the small park near Fell St. at Octavia; in the Presidio near Brown St; near Wedemeyer St. in Presidio; near Lake St between 11th and 15th. The SAR findings are being followed up & investigated by a trained professional. More information will be disclosed as soon as possible.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO POST SEAN'S FLIERS IN AND OUT OF SAN FRANCISCO & KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR SEAN. WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT SEAN IS ALIVE, THOUGH NOT WELL.

TIPS THROUGH HOMELESS COMMUNITY

SOME of the new TIPS have come from those of YOU who spoke to those living on the streets or in the parks. 

A FEW OF THE OLDER TIPS HAVE ALSO BEEN CALLED IN DIRECTLY BY THOSE LIVING ON THE STREETS or IN THE PARKS - both IN & OUT of San Francisco. 

THOSE LIVING IN THE PARKS/STREETS ARE THE EARS AND EYES OF THE CITY IN MANY RESPECTS AND A WEALTH OF INFORMATION. 

PLEASE GIVE SEAN'S FLIER TO HOMELESS PERSONS LIVING IN THE PARKS OR STREETS ( BOTH IN AND OUT OF SAN FRANCISCO) AND SHARE THE NEWS ABOUT OUR SEARCH FOR SEAN. Many of the homeless (particularly the teens/younger crowd), rotate IN and OUT of San Francisco, and travel regularly up and down the Hwy 101 or Hwy 1 corridor, through San Francisco, and down south to San Diego or Los Angeles. If Sean has been taken out of San Francisco, those traveling the circuit may have seen Sean. 

More information will be posted in the days to come.

SEAN SIDI FAMILY SEARCH PLANS JANUARY 2014

Dear Friends & Family,

In view of the search and rescue (SAR) team’s ‘strong scent’ recent find of Sean (see post of Dec 28, 2013), we are  seeking HELP posting Sean’s fliers.  THE FLIERS PLAY A CRUCIAL PART IN LOCATING SEAN.    

 

1.  THOSE LIVING OR WORKING IN SAN FRANCISCO:  

Fliers are pulled down by street cleaners within days of being posted.    Therefore, this time around, we would like to try the following (in addition to those who are so generously posting in a given area- thank you!!):

 

**** We are seeking help from as many people as possible to  POST JUST A FEW (3 OR 4)  of SEANS FLIERS on your weekly route –  and TO REPOST THE FLIERS AS NEEDED (i.e. as they are torn down), UNTIL SEAN IS FOUND.   If possible, please message or email lynnkching@yahoo.com, so that the GRID MAP can be completed.  The goal is to get most San Francisco streets posted with at least 1 of Sean’s Missing Person Flier.

 

2.  THOSE LIVING IN MARIN OR SONOMA COUNTY, NORTH ALONG HWY 1 OR 101.

 

There are various tips which make the Hwy 101 & Hwy 1 corridor (NORTH THRU MARIN AND SONOMA COUNTY) a posting priority (at this time) ALONG with San Francisco:   PLEASE POST IN THE CITIES IN MARIN AND SONOMA.  MANY PEOPLE LIVING HERE ARE NOT AWARE THAT SEAN IS CRITICALLY MISSING. 

 

3.   ELSEWHERE IN CALIFORNIA OR THE USA.  – PLEASE POST!!!!

 

YOUR FLIER MAY BE THE ONE THAT BRINGS SEAN HOME TO US, SAFE~!!

 

We will provide more information regarding tips received and upcoming plans, in the days to come.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!!!

IN HOPE,

SEAN SIDI’S FAMILY
