Help find Sean Sidi

This was posted to FB Sunday night:

Nothing I can think to say or share seems right tonight.

I was remembering 19 years together as a very happy family, and how all that changed so abruptly in a day. My memories encompass Sean, our gentle, smiling boy, but most are of Sean and Danielle together...their mischievous laughter & non-stop games...how our family seems so incomplete without Sean. I am not quite sure how we will manage to get through this.

Thank you to so many who help us keep the search for Sean alive..To Mahsa who posted Sean's fliers at Cal Train & the GIANTS game this weekend; to Jeff who distributed Sean's fliers on CAL TRAIN; to the caller who sent a photo of possible "Sean" this weekend; to JENNY & OPIE for covering the FEDERAL buildings, to Susan H for providing us with Sean's fliers at lower than cost, to SO VERY MANY of YOU, posting & sharing... Thank you.

See www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi for more information on critically injured Sean SIDI (age 19) missing from San Francisco CA May 21, 2013. Sean may not know his name or his DIRE MEDICAL NEEDS due to a severe traumatic brain injury suffered shortly before going missing.

New batch of fliers printed (thank you Susan H). Please email lynnkching@yahoo.com to have a packet (or refill) of fliers mailed to you ANYWHERE in the U.S.

We have been provided with a detailed TIP that Sean MAY have been in the area of Redding, CA in February 2014.

Based on the (reliable) TIP, an Asian teen (between 17-19/20yrs) fitting Sean’s description (including the DROOPY right eye), WHO HAD NO MEMORY OF WHO HE WAS, appeared at a shelter and/or other location in Redding in February 2014.

The Asian teen, in addition to a memory loss, appeared in need of medical attention for sores etc.

WE ARE ASKING FOR HELP IN GETTING SEAN’S FLIER DISTRIBUTED in REDDING, CALIFORNIA & NEARBY TOWNS.

IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW CAN post fliers and/or PROVIDE FLIERS TO: POLICE, HOMELESS SHELTERS, HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS &/OR JUST POST THE FLIERS, in Redding, CA or nearby areas....

PLEASE email lynnkchng@yahoo.com to have fliers MAILED TO YOU.

WE are also reaching out to anyone who may have MEDIA CONTACTS in the local Redding, CA area.

WE WILL KEEP YOU POSTED AS information received is developed. (The above information does NOT preclude other recent sightings in SF or elsewhere. However, the most recent TIP is one of the strongest tips received to date, and if it can be confirmed - would give us hope that Sean is still alive - at least as of Feb 2014.)

THANK YOU SAN FRANCISCO POLICE - FOR RESPONDING SO QUICKLY TO A "SEAN SIDI" SIGHTING TONIGHT.

Tonight, a caring San Francisco citizen called San Francisco Police on their NON-EMERGENCY LINE: 415.553.0123. She informed police of the Sean sighting at California/Polk & reminded police that SEAN was 'CRITICALLY MISSING" with a brain injury (VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR POLICE IF YOU CALL IN A SIGHTING.)

The citizen called me & advised me that POLICE from the NORTHERN STATION in San Francisco responded immediately.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS NOT SEAN.

NONETHELESS, we would like to thank San Francisco POLICE for responding so quickly, and the SAN FRANCISCO resident for calling police on a possible Sean sighting.

You ALL - by sharing the POSTS, and LOOKING for SEAN during your DAY, allow us to HOPE that Sean may be found one day - soon!!

STARTING THIS WEEK, WE WILL START DISTRIBUTING THE ATTACHED FLIER IN AN EFFORT TO GET PEOPLE TO SEND PICTURES of "Sean".

PLEASE EMAIL lynnkching@yahoo.com with your address IF YOU CAN HELP POST 5-10 of THE NEW FLIERS ON COMMUNITY BOARDS, OR OTHER LOCATIONS WHICH MAY STAND A CHANCE OF STAYING UP FOR AWHILE.

AS SOME of YOU may know, on May 21, 2013, the day that Sean vanished from San Francisco, CA, Sean’s last CELL PHONE call WAS PINGED by police to the eastern end of Golden Gate Park.  Coincidentally, people headed to the Rainbow Family gathering (in Montana in 2013) were at Golden Gate Park at SAME DATE, TIME AND LOCATION of Sean’s cell phone ping. 

We do NOT know whether members of the Rainbow Family gave Sean a ride.  We DO know that Sean REMAINS MISSING, since vanishing without a trace from San Francisco on May 21, 2013.  

Last Year, Claude (Sean's dad) traveled to the Rainbow Family gathering in Montana to search for Sean.  The Rainbow Family warmly supported Claude in his search for Sean.  This year (July 2014), friends of the search for Sean Sidi, will travel to the Rainbow Family gathering in UTAH, to spread the word about the search for Sean.

PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD about the search for SEAN SIDI !!!!   If YOU know anyone traveling to the Rainbow Family gathering AND/or anyone WHO  LIVES in UTAH,  PLEASE have them keep an EYE OPEN FOR SEAN.  

See www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi for more information on the search for critically injured Sean Sidi, missing from San Francisco, CA since May 21, 2013.    Sean, age 19 (age time of missing), is 5’5”, 120 lbs, slim build; Asian/White; dark brown hair & eyes; WEARS SILVER DENTAL BRACES; has dimples; right eye droops slightly. Sean may not know his name and may be disoriented due to a traumatic brain injury suffered shortly before going missing. He is in URGENT need of medical care.

We have received so many touching letters over the past year. Joanne's letter (below) struck a chord deep in my heart - and still does - for many reasons. Thank you Joanne and to so many of you, whose support has helped our family survive the past year with hope and dignity. 

Lynn, Claude & Danielle Sidi

******************* Letter From Joanne Olivieri *********************

"It was a year ago today and about the same time in the evening when my coworker at the Botanical Garden alerted me that Sean was missing and his family had come through the gardens on bikes searching for him. When I saw the photo they left at the kiosk, my heart dropped. Sean would come into the garden with his sister and his friends and always had that sweet and shy smile on his face. He loved it there and we loved seeing him there.

I cannot believe it's been a year. Since that time, Sean, a day has not gone by that I haven't thought of you and looked to the homeless on the streets in the hopes of finding you. I am ashamed to admit that I really never gave much attention to the homeless until now. I've searched Golden Gate Park many times for you and still lookout for you when I am there.

I just hope that wherever you are, that you are not sick and somehow find your way back home to your family. Each night when I go to bed I say a prayer and hope that you are not cold out in the elements. I hope that you have found a warm place to stay.

With all of the people who care about you and pray for your safe return, I know in my heart that you will find your way home.

Please everyone, if you see someone who looks like Sean go up to him and take his picture. We all have cell phones with cameras. Then call the police and Lynn 
Ching."
