PLEASE CONTINUE TO POST SEAN'S FLIERS IN AND OUT OF SAN FRANCISCO & KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR SEAN. WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT SEAN IS ALIVE, THOUGH NOT WELL.

TIPS THROUGH HOMELESS COMMUNITY

SOME of the new TIPS have come from those of YOU who spoke to those living on the streets or in the parks. 

A FEW OF THE OLDER TIPS HAVE ALSO BEEN CALLED IN DIRECTLY BY THOSE LIVING ON THE STREETS or IN THE PARKS - both IN & OUT of San Francisco. 

THOSE LIVING IN THE PARKS/STREETS ARE THE EARS AND EYES OF THE CITY IN MANY RESPECTS AND A WEALTH OF INFORMATION. 

PLEASE GIVE SEAN'S FLIER TO HOMELESS PERSONS LIVING IN THE PARKS OR STREETS ( BOTH IN AND OUT OF SAN FRANCISCO) AND SHARE THE NEWS ABOUT OUR SEARCH FOR SEAN. Many of the homeless (particularly the teens/younger crowd), rotate IN and OUT of San Francisco, and travel regularly up and down the Hwy 101 or Hwy 1 corridor, through San Francisco, and down south to San Diego or Los Angeles. If Sean has been taken out of San Francisco, those traveling the circuit may have seen Sean. 

More information will be posted in the days to come.

Dear Friends & Family,

In view of the search and rescue (SAR) team’s ‘strong scent’ recent find of Sean (see post of Dec 28, 2013), we are  seeking HELP posting Sean’s fliers.  THE FLIERS PLAY A CRUCIAL PART IN LOCATING SEAN.    

1.  THOSE LIVING OR WORKING IN SAN FRANCISCO:  

Fliers are pulled down by street cleaners within days of being posted.    Therefore, this time around, we would like to try the following (in addition to those who are so generously posting in a given area- thank you!!):

**** We are seeking help from as many people as possible to  POST JUST A FEW (3 OR 4)  of SEANS FLIERS on your weekly route –  and TO REPOST THE FLIERS AS NEEDED (i.e. as they are torn down), UNTIL SEAN IS FOUND.   If possible, please message or email lynnkching@yahoo.com, so that the GRID MAP can be completed.  The goal is to get most San Francisco streets posted with at least 1 of Sean’s Missing Person Flier.

2.  THOSE LIVING IN MARIN OR SONOMA COUNTY, NORTH ALONG HWY 1 OR 101.

There are various tips which make the Hwy 101 & Hwy 1 corridor (NORTH THRU MARIN AND SONOMA COUNTY) a posting priority (at this time) ALONG with San Francisco:   PLEASE POST IN THE CITIES IN MARIN AND SONOMA.  MANY PEOPLE LIVING HERE ARE NOT AWARE THAT SEAN IS CRITICALLY MISSING. 

3.   ELSEWHERE IN CALIFORNIA OR THE USA.  – PLEASE POST!!!!

YOUR FLIER MAY BE THE ONE THAT BRINGS SEAN HOME TO US, SAFE~!!

We will provide more information regarding tips received and upcoming plans, in the days to come.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!!!

IN HOPE,

SEAN SIDI’S FAMILY

SEARCH AND RESCUE DOGS PICK UP SEAN SIDI’S SCENT – PLEASE SHARE

Given Sean’s traumatic brain injury and other pre-existing medical conditions at the time Sean went missing from San Francisco, CA on May 21, 2013, there was serious concern whether Sean was still alive.

Last week, a search and rescue dog team came to San Francisco to search for Sean.  This team has worked with the FBI on many missing person cases.  To our amazement, the dogs made a “strong scent” find [of Sean] in various parts of San Francisco.  The strong scent finds occurred -  near and around hippy hill (Golden Gate Park;  near and around the small park at Octavia/Fell;  near and around the Presidio near Mountain Lake;  near and around 1801 Wedemeyer (in the Presidio); and near and around Lake Street between 11^th and 15^th Avenue. 

We have been informed that a “strong scent” find means that an item belonging to Sean or Sean himself was at the “find site” WITHIN 6 WEEKS of the find (scent would fade after 6 weeks).   While there is always room for error, the lead handler said that based on the dogs’ behavior, she strongly believes that the dogs had picked up Sean’s (and not someone else’s) scent.

In the context of other tips received, we are SEEKING HELP IN POSTING SEAN’S FLIERS ANYWHERE THAT YOU MAY BE LOCATED, WITH A FOCUS (1) IN SAN FRANCISCO AND (2) ALONG HWY 1 & HWY 101 NORTH THROUGH MARIN & SONOMA COUNTY. 

The dogs’ “find” has given us hope that Sean is still alive.  On the other hand, comments from those providing tips indicate that “Sean” appears in need of medical care.  

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW.  IF YOU CAN, PLEASE HELP POST SEAN’S FLIERS. 

To have Sean’s missing person fliers mailed to you, email lynnkching@yahoo.com.   Fliers can also downloaded from www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi.
