SAVE THE DATE: SAT MAY 17TH - 1 YEAR WALK FOR SEAN SIDI

 

REMINDER: “1-YEAR WALK For SEAN” on SAT May 17th at 12:30 PM, 150 Oak Street (btw Franklin & Gough St.). 

Thanks to YOU, we are expecting a sizable turnout this coming Saturday, when we “WALK FOR SEAN”. 

HERE ARE THE DETAILS: (Also posted under Events on FB)

MEET: Saturday, May 17th, at 12:30 pm in from of the French American School at 150 Oak Street (btw Franklin & Gough St) San Francisco. PLEASE ALLOW ADEQUATE TIME FOR PARKING. We will distribute brightly colored T-shirts with Sean’s picture, for those WALKING. 

WALK: We will walk SEAN'S LAST ROUTE THE DAY HE VANISHED A YEAR AGO. From 150 Oak Street, we will walk up Oak St. to Stanyan/Haight then STOP at Sharon Meadows behind Children's Playground. In total @ 20 blocks. We will picnic at Sharon Meadows & hope to hear from you and K-9 Forensics SAR.

Wear good shoes, bring WATER lunch/snack & a jacket – it may be cool on Saturday. 

**** It would be GREAT if some of you could make light-weight, LARGE SIGNS for the cars (& media) to read as we walk. The signs can say anything you want: Still searching for Sean Sidi…We miss you Sean!!... are only a few suggestions. 

PARKING at START LOCATION: Park in neighborhood (its not too bad) or at paid parking lots around school. There is a large parking structure at Hayes and Gough St., a few blocks from French school.

RETURN TRIP: We will try to have 1 or 2 cars at the end location to transport people back to 150 Oak St. However, given the size of the group & the fact that people may want to leave at different times, you may opt to catch the bus, especially if leaving early. The #71 bus on Haight Street*** goes back to the START location. Catch the #71 bus on Stanyan or Haight Street (going towards downtown). Get off at the corner of Page & Market, which is 1 block from the START location of 150 Oak Street. THE #21 Bus on Hayes Street (head downtown) ends 2-3 blocks from START location. Fare is $2.00. 

If you are in a group of several cars, please consider keeping 1 car near the END location (park at Children’s playground lot, nearby or outside GG park along Lincoln Ave.) as we will have a fairly large group. Paid parking at Stanyan/Waller.

BART: Take BART to Powell St or Civic Center. Exit BART area, and take MUNI (located in SAME BUILDING AS BART) to Van Ness Street. Exit station at Van Ness and Market. Walk 1 block to the French School: 150 Oak Street. 

See you all on SATURDAY!!!

 

Another Tip Called in - Search for Sean SIDI

UPDATE HAIGHT ST. AREA  - Searchers/volunteers have been coming back with a lot of information but still NO CONFIRMATION that the sighting of "Sean" (described as wearing an oversized dark blue hoodie, jeans & HOLDING an injured LEFT WRIST) is OUR Sean. NONE of the photos sent in thus far is Sean. It is almost impossible to verify the varied accounts from those living in Golden Gate Park. VOLUNTEERS are continuing to MONITOR Gold...en Gate PARK - HAIGHT St. area.
ANOTHER TIP CALLED IN - SEARCH FOR SEAN SIDI
  
MARINA AREA - ANOTHER TIP came in LAST NIGHT from someone who saw someone who RESEMBLED Sean on CHESTNUT STREET (near Moscone Recreational Center) in the MARINA DISTRICT of San Francisco. THERE IS NO PHOTO & THIS IS UNCONFIRMED. "Sean" was wearing a dark colored hoodie, jeans and carrying a Jansport backpack. UNFORTUNATELY, "Sean" was gone before the person could speak to him or ascertain whether "Sean" wore braces, etc.

DUBOCE ST/GUERRERO - As posted earlier, someone reported seeing a person wearing a washboard in this area of SF.

PLEASE BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SEAN, NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE. TIPS ARE MOST FREQUENT IN THE SAN FRANCISCO & THE BAY AREA partly because awareness is highest here. However, from reading about other missing persons cases, we realize that Sean could be ANYWHERE.

WE WOULD LIKE TO ALSO THANK THE MANY VOLUNTEERS SEARCHING/POSTING IN SAN FRANCISCO / CALIFORNIA & THOSE WHO HAVE/ARE HELPING US POST SEAN'S FLIERS IN OTHER STATES. RECENTLY, VOLUNTEERS POSTED IN NEVADA, OREGON, WASHINGTON STATE, NORTH CAROLINA AND MISSOURI.

Please message on FB or email lynnkching@yahoo.com if you would like a packet of Sean's fliers MAILED TO YOU (ANYWHERE IN THE U.S.).

Request By Sean’s Sister, Danielle

Save the Date: SAT May 17th  -   Time: TBD

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!!

ON SATURDAY, MAY 17, 2014, we invite YOU to join US in walking Sean’s last known route the day he vanished. HELP US KEEP AWARENESS OF THE CONTINUED SEARCH FOR SEAN ALIVE & DEMONSTRATE THE STRENGTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. 

ROUTE: We will start at FAIS-HIS (French American Int’l School/International School) at 150 Oak Street, San Francisco. 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 SAVE THE DATE!!

SEAN SIDI HAS BEEN MISSING FOR OVER 10 MONTHS...

Sean has been missing for over 10 months, now. We are PAINFULLY AWARE that Sean has NOT used his cell phone, bank card, email, or FB SINCE HE VANISHED from San Francisco, CA on May 21, 2013.....If Sean is alive, we know that significant medical issues are likely present. Still, we continue to pray and hope for a miracle.

Recently, friends JENNY & OPIE arranged for all federal buildings from Sacramento to Los Angeles to display an electronic version of Sean's missing person flier!! Thank you Jenny & OPIE for doing this!!

If anyone has other ideas as to how we may further keep the search for Sean alive, please let us know. We would welcome any help.


In Hope,


Lynn, Claude & Danielle
