UPDATE: SEAN SIDI VIDEO SURVEILLANCE AT PEETS SAN RAFAEL AND LAUREL VILLAGE, SAN FRANCISCO


We were in contact with managers at PEETS in San Rafael this weekend. Over the last 2 days, PEETS’ explanation as to WHO previously viewed the video – IF AT ALL- has changed several times. We are unsure as to why this is occurring and hope to get coherent answers this week.

The vendor at Laurel Village SF has indicated that we must provide exact DATE and TIME (within an hour) to access video surveillance. With the permission of the person who provided the tip, we have asked the vendor to access purchase information to attempt to pin down date/time. A week has elapsed with no answers. 

THANK YOU to so many of you who have posted in Marin!!!! Apparently, the fliers near the San Rafael/3rd Street PEETS location are being pulled down within 1 - 2 days. However, it appears that you all are reposting!! 

We have been told that BOLINAS remains an overlooked area – and one with a lot of homeless people. If anyone knows people who live in the area, willing to post Sean’s missing fliers, please have them email lynnkching@yahoo.com, and we will mail a packet of fliers to them. 

Over the course of the last several months, we have had several (unconfirmed) sightings and the 'strong scent find' of the search and rescue (SAR) dogs. While NONE of the sightings have been confirmed, in the absence of other information, we remain hopeful that Sean is still ALIVE. That being said, doctors have warned that Sean DOES NOT have time on his side. 

Please keep an eye out for SEAN SIDI, particularly among people living on the streets or in the parks. Sean is Asian/Caucasian, 19 years old, 5’5”, 120 lbs, slim build; dark brown eyes and dark brown wavy hair (AFRO looking if not trimmed); he wears SILVER DENTAL BRACES; has a BUMP on right forehead from brain surgery; right eye droops slightly; and has dimples.   See www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi for more information on the search for critically injured Sean Sidi, age 19, missing from San Francisco, CA May 21, 2013. 

If you think that you see Sean, please text or email a PICTURE of “SEAN” to 415.713.5913 or lynnkching@yahoo.com. REMEMBER, TO ACCESS SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS, we will need the DATE, TIME and LOCATION of the “Sean sighting”.

IS SEAN SIDI LOST AND LIVING HOMELESS?

LIFEGUARD "FINDS" MISSING MAN LIVING ON STREET AMONG HOMELESS 

PRIOR TO SEAN (SIDI) GOING MISSING from San Francisco, CA on May 21, 2013, I did not connect those living on the streets and in the parks with MISSING people. As it turns out, I have since learned that a good number of reported missing people are living amongst the homeless, TOO ILL to know that their families are desperately searching for them.

HERE IS A REAL LIFE STORY OF HOW 1 MISSING MAN WAS RECENTLY FOUND:

Yesterday, my friend Brenda distributed Sean's missing person fliers to lifeguards and the homeless along Laguna Beach in S. California. One of the lifeguards told Brenda how he had recently located a missing person amongst the people living on the streets/beaches. The lifeguard noticed that 1 of the homeless seemed very confused and in need of medical and mental health help. He talked to the man and the others living with the man, did some research and found out that the man was reported missing!!! 

As you look for Sean (SIDI) among those living on the streets or parks (in and out of San Francisco), please keep an eye open for the 4 other young men missing from San Francisco: Crishtian Hughes, Shawn Dickerson, Cameron Remmer and Jackson Miller.   LIKE SEAN SIDI, they all have families desperately searching for them.  

For more information, see www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi.

Sean SIDI, age 19, suffered a severe traumatic brain injury prior to going missing from San Francisco, CA on May 21, 2013, and is urgent need of medical care. Sean is white/asian, 5'5", 120 lbs, dark brown wavy hair, dark brown eyes, wears silver dental braces, has dimples, slight bump on right forehead from brain surgery.

 

 

WOULD YOU RECOGNIZE SEAN SIDI?


It has been 8 long months since Sean SIDI, age 19, vanished without a trace from San Francisco, CA, on May 21, 2013. This morning, I was speaking to a friend (who had not met Sean in person) on the telephone while she was driving (hands free, of course). All of a sudden she pulled to the side and made a U turn, as she thought that she had seen Sean. She was not sure whether it was Sean, but was unwilling to let him escape. "Sean" noticed her following him in her car and approached her car window. My friend told "Sean" that he looked like the missing person she was seeking. "Sean" indicated that he was NOT a missing person. Undeterred, my friend asked "Sean" whether he wore braces. "Sean" said 'no'. My friend finally allowed "Sean" to leave.

THE POINT IS THAT IT IS NOT SO EASY TO RECOGNIZE SEAN, made harder if he has been living on the streets for the past 8 months.

BEFORE SEAN'S ACCIDENT: FOR THOSE WHO KNEW SEAN IN HIGH SCHOOL (JUNE 2012) AND BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, Sean wore his hair SHORT and did not wear dental braces.

AFTER SEAN's ACCIDENT IN DEC 2012, Sean grew his hair LONG to cover the scars. He also agreed to put on dental braces (again) to correct a problem with his bite which occurred when his jaw continued to grow after his braces were taken off in 9th grade.

SUMMARY; SEAN SIDI, AGE 19, WOULD LIKELY HAVE LONG HAIR, LOOKING LIKE AN AFRO IF IT HAS NOT BEEN TRIMMED FOR 8 MONTHS.  Sean does not grow much facial hair.  WE ARE ASSUMING HE IS STILL WEARING DENTAL BRACES. HE IS 5'5" AND 120 LBS, DK BROWN HAIR (WAVY) AND DK BROWN EYES. SEAN HAS DIMPLES. HE COULD BE WEARING SUNGLASSES (not sure if he had any with him).  HE WILL BE LIKELY LOOKING LOST OR OUT OF SORTS. 

SEAN IS ASIAN, FRENCH AND ITALIAN. 

PLEASE COMPARE THE (top photo) PRE-INJURY PHOTO (taken @June 2012) with the SHORT HAIR (for those who knew Sean in high school), with the POST INJURY photo taken about 3 months after Sean's accident (@March 2013) WITH LONGER HAIR AND DENTAL BRACES.

HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL ASSIST IN RECOGNIZING SEAN. PLEASE CALL & TEXT (415.713.5913) or email lynnkching@yahoo.com, if you think you see Sean.

A PROMISE TO SEAN SIDI'S SISTER, DANIELLE SIDI

 

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

THANKS TO EVERYONE POSTING SEAN SIDI'S FLIERS

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!

THE CANDLELIGHT VIGIL FOR SEAN SIDI AND ALL THE YOUNG MEN MISSING FROM SAN FRANCISCO WAS BEAUTIFUL

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
