The Pittsburgh Police Special Victims Unit is currently seeking assistance from the public to locate a missing man, 30-year-old David Schmitt, who disappeared last Wednesday. He was last seen at around 11 a.m. at the Cedar Avenue Giant Eagle on Pittsburgh's North Side, an occurrence his family describes as unusual.
Schmitt, described by the City of Pittsburgh Public Safety Blotter as 5 feet 7 inches in height and weighing around 140 pounds, is recognized by characteristics such as brown hair, brown eyes, and a full beard. On the day of his last sighting, he was wearing blue jeans paired with a black shirt and a distinctly red and black checkered sweatshirt that boasts a hood but is absent of any zipper.
The areas of Troy Hill, Spring Hill, and East Allegheny are familiar to Schmitt. The police note that he's known to frequent these places. With the passage of time since his disappearance, the plea for any information that could lead to his location has become urgent.
Authorities are reaching out to individuals who might have knowledge concerning Schmitt's whereabouts and encouraging them to contact the Pittsburgh Police by calling (412) 323-7800 or, in urgent situations, dialing the standard emergency number 9-1-1.
