Sean Sidi vanished on May 21, 2013 near 150
Oak Street in San Francisco, CA. With the help of an army of volunteers, the
Sidi family has conducted ground searches, held vigils, posted thousands of
fliers, and even traveled to the Montana Rainbow Gathering in an effort to find
the missing nineteen year old. The Sean Sidi Facebook page is now averaging
over 7,000 visitors per day. Hoping to generate the one lead that will bring
Sean home safe, the family is announcing they are offering a $5,000.00 reward
for anyone with information that leads to Sean’s safe return or the arrest and
conviction of any person(s) responsible for his disappearance.
For nearly two months since Sean’s disappearance, the Sidi
family has enlisted the help of their community in a desperate effort to try to
locate the missing young man who suffers from a severe traumatic brain injury
(TBI). According to a statement issued by Dr. Geoffrey Manley, Chief of
Neurosurgery at San Francisco General Hospital, “Sean’s medical condition puts
him at significant risk of death, or of not making a meaningful recovery from
his brain injury if not found quickly.” Sean underwent emergency brain surgery
only months before he vanished.
According to missing person experts, Sean is considered an
extremely “high risk” missing person case. Kym L. Pasqualini has worked in the
field of missing persons for twenty years as founder and former CEO of the
National Center for Missing Adults. “Sean’s medical condition places him in a
category of individuals with a disability who are at significant risk of injury
or victimization if not found immediately,” says Pasqualini. “Every day Sean is
missing creates more concern and urgency.”
Sean’s mother Lynn Ching hopes offering the reward will be
the incentive that someone needs to provide information about Sean Sidi’s
whereabouts.
The Sidi family has released a new missing person flier that includes the $5,000.00 reward and phone number for the San Francisco Police Department. The Sidi family is also asking for help of more volunteers to continue distributing and sharing Sean’s flier nationwide. The Reward flier can be downloaded and printed at http://www.seansidi.com/page/Missing-Flier.aspx or fliers can be mailed by contacting lynnkching@yahoo.com.
Kym L. Pasqualini is founder and served as 17 years as CEO of the Nation’s Missing Children Organization & National Center for Missing Adults until 2010. Kym is an expert in the field of missing persons and continues to advocate for crime victims utilizing 20 years’ experience working with government officials, law enforcement, advocates, private investigators, and national media.
