Help find Sean Sidi

On SUNDAY, good friends Basil and his wife Nathalie, arranged a LEAFLETTING PICNIC at GOLDEN GATE Park to support the SEARCH FOR SEAN SIDI. A small group of friends gathered, passed fliers to those in Golden Gate Park and posted fliers on the streets, then met up and picnicked under SEAN'S MISSING PERSON BANNER. 

Basil's and Nathalie's words to Claude and me were, 'We wanted to let you know that although we may not see you everyday, that we are WITH you - in the search for Sean - for the LONG RUN .. also to remind each other of the strength of COMMUNITY and the RESILIENCE OF THIS search for Sean (SIDI).' 

THANK YOU BASIL & NATHALIE & to ALL of YOU who continue to support us in our search for Sean.

The roller coaster of hope & disappointment continue. I try to survive by going through the exhausting process of blocking out all thoughts of my personable, good natured , charming son, who - despite the horrific accident, had the promise of a fulfilling LIFE ahead of him. Unlike a death, where pain may dim over time, the loss of having a MISSING CHILD & the anguish of NOT KNOWING become more PAINFUL as time passes, with HOPES diminished and ANXIETY INCREASING - wondering whether I will LIVE out my life NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED TO SEAN......

This week, we got some help from 2 kind San Francisco Police officers. I approached 2 policemen at the Montgomery MUNI/BART station IN SAN FRANCISCO with Sean's fliers. After speaking to them, they ASKED me if I had more fliers - which of course I did. They took a stack, and had the station agent (at Montgomery) post the flier In the STATION window. They said they would distribute the fliers to other station agents. WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO THE 2 SAN FRANCISCO POLICE OFFICERS FOR THEIR HELP. 

INTERESTINGLY, when I asked both police officers if they would recognize Sean among the homeless, they BOTH said they would RECOGNIZE SEAN'S DIMPLES (whether smiling or not)!!! I thought that was interesting as several people have said the same thing. 

Please keep your EYES open for SEAN, among the HOMELESS, LIKELY looking FAR from the well groomed boy in these photos, except for his signature DIMPLES & BRACES....

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.

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
