Help find Sean Sidi

Since Sean vanished a year ago, Claude, Danielle and I have battled crippling grief, despair and depression. At times, HOPE seemed elusive amidst the pain of Sean’s disappearance. 

An anonymous caller recently reminded us that there is always HOPE. This is his STORY. 

The caller said that 15 years ago he suffered a traumatic brain injury. One day – during the early stages of his recovery, he was suddenly beset by a jumble of thoughts, voices in his head, and a loss of memory. He felt compelled to leave. For 2 years, he wandered homeless (& MISSING) and lived off the kindness of those around him. After a 2 year period had passed, the caller slowly regained some of his memory – and was able to contact his family. 

We can only HOPE that WE will be lucky enough to be reunited with SEAN one day soon. 

To everyone, including Sean’s FRIENDS returning home from college FOR THE SUMMER, please keep your eyes open for Sean among the HOMELESS. Sean may not remember his name, his former life or YOU. 

However, we hope that YOU will recognize SEAN (& call us)!! 

In Hope,

The Sidi Family 

PS, Thank you to all who volunteered to distribute Sean’s flier shirts. The mailing/deliveries will go out on Thursday and Friday. 

PSS.  Please email lynnkching@yahoo.com if you would like a flier shirt for yourself and/or anyone else willing to wear the shirt.

What: Walk for Sean 

May 21, 2014, will mark 1 year since our beloved Sean (SIDI) vanished from San Francisco. CA without a trace….NO cell phone, bank card, email, FB or other activity for nearly a year. On that day, EVERY parent’s worst nightmare occurred!! Out of left Field, WITHOUT WARNING & Forever Changing Our Lives. 

We know there are NO guarantees that we will find SEAN, or even find answers as to what happened to him. Nonetheless, we continue to do what EVERY parent would do – KEEP THE SEARCH ALIVE!!

Sean attended FAIS/IHS from K-12, and visited with a former high school teacher @ 11:40 am the day that he vanished, May 21, 2013. This was the LAST TIME Sean was seen alive. We will WALK to Golden Gate Park, the pinged location of Sean’s last phone call (with his dad). AT THE END OF THE WALK, we hope to hear from special guests, including K-9 Forensics, the dog search and rescue team who searched for Sean in December.

PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR SEAN!! 

Someone called in a sighting of "Sean" in San Francisco, near the intersection of Cesar Chavez and Kansas Street, a location with a lot of homeless people. "Sean" was spotted at this location at 4 pm today. This location is relatively close to San Francisco General Hospital. 

The person calling in the tip said that "Sean" looked like the picture on the FAR RIGHT of Sean's missing person flier.  "Sean's" hair was short as in the far right photo.   "Sean" was driving a red 1990's red Honda Accord with back tinted windows (Sean does not own a car, but does know how to drive). A partial license plate number was provided to us. 

The person who called in the tip saw one of SEAN's MISSING PERSON fliers (which one of YOU had posted) - at the corner of Duboce and Guerrero Street in San Francisco. THANK YOU to ALL WHO CONTINUE TO POST SEAN'S FLIERS THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA AND THE UNITED STATES.

PLEASE HELP US TO POST SEAN'S FLIERS ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES. We are 100% sure that Sean is NOT cognizant of us or his former life prior to going missing.

Thanks to all of YOU posting in MARIN, someone called in a tip from Novato yesterday after seeing Sean’s flier posted at Safeway.  The person who called it in provided very detailed information, which allowed us to locate “Sean”. Unfortunately, it was not Sean.   While we were disappointed, we were glad that we were able to confirm this sighting.

In total, 3 tips were called in over the past 10 days: 2 from Novato and 1 in San Francisco THANKS to so many of you posting and reposting.  In truth, the tips are following the fliers. 

We are trying our utmost to get fliers posted in EVERY city in California and beyond.   You can make a big difference in our search for Sean if you can help us post 1 or 2 fliers near you (and re-post the fliers until Sean is found).

If you are willing to post and/or distribute Sean’s fliers (ANYWHERE in the U.S), please email lynnkching@yahoo.com.
