Help find 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

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

(PICTURE BELOW OF SEAN’S FLIER AT VAN NESS AND MARKET IN SAN FRANCISCO)

We have lived the past 7 months as best as we can, searching for Sean and trying desperately to keep hope alive.  While Sean's disappearance has been hard on us (his parents) - it has been even harder in many ways - on Sean's sister and best friend, Danielle.  The littlest things such as eating otter pops on a hot Hawaiian day, remind us all of the many laughs and precious moments shared by Sean and Danielle over 15 years.  Sean, the unfailing leader of mischief making, and Danielle his devoted accomplice.

We have promised Danielle that we will NEVER stop searching for her beloved brother.

Sean is much missed and loved,

Danielle, Lynn & Claude Sidi

Picture below:  Sean with sister Danielle (center) and cousin Rachel, in Hawaii eating otter pops on a hot Hawaiian day. 

At this juncture we remain hopeful that Sean is still alive.   While none of the recent sightings have been confirmed (by someone who knows Sean personally), many of the tips have referenced a young man who is need of medical care.

Your help in posting Sean's missing person flier in San Francisco, up the Hwy 101 & Hwy 1 Marin/Sonoma corridor & beyond, greatly increases our chances of finding Sean in time.

Thank you for all your help!

SIGHTING IN THE PRESIDIO:

Recently, contstruction workers in the Presidio reported seeing someone fitting Sean's description - several months ago.  The workers were not aware that Sean was reported missing and we have only recently received this information.  "Sean" was seeing in the Presidio walking with his arms out as if trying to balance.

We are posting fliers in the hope that more people will come forward with information.

POSTING:

We are seeking help posting Sean's Missing Person Flier in the following areas:

1.  Near and around Mountain Lake in the Presidio, particularly the area WEST of the Lake near 1801 Wedemeyer Street;

2.  Near and around Lake Street (11th Ave - 15th Ave);

3.  Near and around Octavia St @ Linden St (San Francisco).

If you can even post 1 - 2 fliers, this would greatly help.

Status of Eureka Sighting:

We are still following up on the Eureka sighting. Fliers have been distributed to law enforcement, hospitals, soup kitchens and homeless shelters in the area of Redding, Humboldt County, Eureka.  Many of you have posted in the area. 

TO HAVE FLIERS MAILED TO YOU, PLS. email lynnkching@yahoo.com.  You may also download the flier from www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi.

Thank you to all who are posting Sean's fliers en route to your winter vacation destination!!

Every Flier Counts!!

In Hope,

The Sidi Family

THANK YOU to ALL who attended the Candlelight Vigil of Hope on the steps of San Francisco City Hall.   It was beautiful!  Claude and I were touched by so many of you who extended your long day - to attend.

For those who did not attend, Pastor Fred Harrell, a long time friend of the Sean Sidi family, performed a beautiful service.  All observed a moment of silence after each missing young man's name was read.  Jason, from Fred Harrell's church, played the guitar and sang a very beautiful song that moved the crowd to tears.  The parents of the missing boys spoke.  

TV crews from Channel 2 and Channel 4 filmed the vigil.

Many of you came up to Claude and me after the vigil to give us a hug and to voice your support of our search for Sean (SIDI).  Both of us were incredibly moved by the love and support extended to us by each and every one of you.

THANK YOU ALL for attending the Candlelight Vigil, and infusing HOPE in the search for Sean and the missing young men of San Francisco.   

A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO FRED HARRELL FOR CONDUCTING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND MEMORABLE SERVICE, AND TO JASON FOR HIS SONG OF HOPE.

With Gratitude,

Lynn and Claude Sidi
