Dear Friends,

March is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Awareness Month.

We live each day with immense and unrelenting guilt that we did not keep Sean safe after his traumatic brain injury....That perhaps, if we knew more, did more - we could have prevented the tragedy of 'losing' him... 

TBI can happen to any of us - anytime: slip and fall, car accident, sports accident...    If you know of someone who has suffered a concussion or any type of trauma to the head, please read the following article.  Your support may make a huge difference in their life.   PRESS ON LINK TO ARTICLE:

See www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi for more information on Sean Sidi, age 19, who went missing from San Francisco, CA May 21, 2013 shortly after suffering a traumatic brain injury.

Sean is still missing...1 Year - 7 months - 25 days.

Sean's phone went dead/turned off at @1:35 pm on May 21, 2013 in a very busy area of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA. Since that time, there has been NO phone, bank card or other electronic activity. Sean - in his compromised/healing physical & mental state - could not have gone far or survived for long on his own. Someone knows something. Our search continues...for Sean, for California Missing Five, for others.

Below: Sea's flier in 'The Good Earth' in Fairfax, THANK YOU Tina A. for your messages of hope & love & for posting Sean's fliers.

MORE Random pictures of Sean: 1) Sean & Danielle 2) Sean (2nd from right) with sister Danielle & cousins Rachel, Sidney & Gareth the summer before he vanished. We post these to remember Sean... ..his smile, his laughter & all the LOVE & JOY he brought to our life.   Sean is more than a missing person...MUCH more.

As the mother of a missing child, I had hoped against hope that 21 year old college student Shane Montgomery, who went missing a month ago after leaving a bar, would be found alive.

Sadly, he was NOT. His family is nonetheless very thankful to the incredible people who helped bring Shane HOME.   See www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Body-of-Missing-College-Student-Shane-Montgomery-Found-286962511.html

THE sheer RELIEF in finding a missing child/loved one (EVEN IF FOUND DECEASED), CAN ONLY BE FULLY APPRECIATED if you have suffered the AGONY of "not knowing" [where your child is], and endured the daily TORMENT of wondering whether you will EVER know.

The search for Shane, despite its tragic outcome, was a model of excellence & efficiency. From the start, law enforcement in PHILADELPHIA requested the help of the public (via media), obtained surveillance tapes & ENLISTED the ASSISTANCE OF THE FBI and K9 search and rescue teams. Helicopters were ALSO used in an effort to locate Shane.

San Francisco Missing Persons Dept should take NOTE. In Sean's case, & despite his life threatening brain injury, law enforcement in San Francisco ("LE") NEVER ever sought the public's help via media (our contacts did); LE declined to request the FBI's help and they REFUSED to allow Marin K-9 search and rescue team to enter SAN FRANCISCO to search for Sean (a private K9 team searched months later). SEAN'S correct Phone PING information was obtained by LE almost 2 weeks after Sean vanished, and ONLY after repeated requests by this family.

San Francisco is a model of INEFFICIENCY, the price for which Sean likely paid with his LIFE.

Sadly, this is more the RULE than the exception in San Francisco.

See www.seansidi.com and www.facebook.com/findseansidi for more information on Sean Sidi, age 19, who vanished from San Francisco on May 21, 2013 shortly after sustaining a traumatic brain injury.

Another year gone by without our precious Sean…there are no words...   

Despite the passage of time, SO many of you continue to search, hope, post and pray that we might one day experience a miracle and hold Sean, SAFE, in our arms again.   

Below are a few year-end pictures of some of your efforts: 1st Photo, Rosie F & friends prepared bags for the homeless in Marin, CA & included Sean's Fliers!!!  2nd & 3rd Photos: Sean's Flier on Union Square, San Francisco, among hundreds of shoppers & tourists.  Thank you Rosie, Ann and ALL for supporting our search for Sean!!!
