Help find Sean Sidi

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. 

Sean SIDI, age 19 yrs., suffered a severe traumatic brain injury shortly before going missing on May 21, 2013, from San Francisco, California. Sean is in URGENT NEED of medical care. Sean is 5'5", 120 lbs., Asian/Caucasian, dark brown wavy hair (LIKELY AN AFRO BY NOW IF NOT TRIMMED); dark brown eyes, wears SILVER DENTAL BRACES, has dimples, right eye droops slightly, has scar on right forehead from brain surgery. Sean may seem lost or confused. 

IF YOU CAN, PLEASE HELP POST SEAN'S MISSING PERSON FLIERS IN MARIN, SAN FRANCISCO & ELSEWHERE (ANYWHERE IN US). THE FLIERS ARE CRUCIAL IN GENERATING TIPS. 

TO HAVE SEAN'S MISSING PERSON FLIERS MAILED TO YOU, email lynnkching@yahoo.com. For more information about the search for Sean SIDI, see www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi.

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.

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!

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
