Sean Sidi, the teenager who went missing in San Francisco almost a year ago, is still missing, but there may have been some unconfirmed sightings in the area.
On April 23rd, a tip was posted on the Find Sean Sidi Facebook page that stated he'd been spotted by a former teacher near Page & Stanyan. Then, he was reportedly spotted again in Golden Gate Park near Hippy Hill.
The person who was spotted was described as wearing an oversized dark blue hoodie and jeans. Sean is Asian/White, 5'5", 120lbs, wears braces, and he was 19 when he went missing in May 2013. Sean (who goes by Sidi) also has a brain injury that puts him at extremely high risk on the streets, and he is in need of medical attention.
If you see someone who you think might be him, remember that a photo speaks a thousand words. From the Facebook page:
"The information is promising but we still need a picture of "Sean" TO CONFIRM SIGHTING and need to hand Sean's fliers to POLICE + park people."
If you think you see him, snap a photo and send it to (415) 713-5913.
Also missing and reported spotted in the neighborhood is Crishtian Hughes. Crishtian went missing on February 7th. He's 21, 130 lbs, 5'8", white, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black long-sleeved tee and black jeans.
On April 18th, a report was posted on the Facebook page dedicated to finding Chrishtian. The tipster noted that he was spotted on Haight Street between Clayton and Ashbury, heading east. Per the sighting: "This person was wearing thin cotton pajama bottoms and dark colored tennis shoes (hipster style) very worn out and no socks."
Crishtian is mentally stable and has no history of running away. Here's his story, written by his mother:
On February 4th, 2013, I dropped Crishtian off at the San Diego International Airport. He was on his way to visit a Friend who resides In San Francisco CA. After he arrived, we briefly spoke and he assured me he had arrived safe, and would be returning home Thursday February 7th around 2:30 pm. I have not heard from Crishtian since.On the afternoon of February 7, 2013, San Diego Police Department arrived at my residence and asked if my son Crishtian was home. I said no, and I immediately knew something was wrong. One of the Boys who my son had been visiting, contacted San Francisco Police Department, as he became concerned and wanted to know if Crishtian had made it home safely. Apparently, Cristhian packed his personal belongings and left the block of 900 Capital Ave between 1:00 a.m., and 10:00 a.m. I contacted the Airlines and was told, Crishtian did not board the plane.
Crishtian's tip hotline is (619) 408-5810.
