A man in Pennsylvania was delivering for DoorDash when he disappeared and his vehicle was found abandoned, authorities say.
The North Sewickley Township Police Department has announced it is searching for 32-year-old Zachariah Schuck. He has been missing for nearly three weeks.
On Oct. 22, Schuck was delivering for DoorDash in the area of Monaca, Pennsylvania. The Beaver County borough is located about 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
Schuck had lost a separate job a few months before, his father, Carl Schuck, told local ABC affiliate WTAE. The younger man was a father of two, having just recently welcomed his second child into the world.
At about 6:30 p.m. that day, Schuck made a delivery. About 90 minutes later, his cellphone pinged for a final time around the Vanport Bridge in Beaver County, and sometime after that, his vehicle was found "abandoned" in a gravel patch near Croxall Avenue in Hopewell Township, Pennsylvania, about a 20-minute drive south of Monaca.
According to Carl Schuck, a neighbor's doorbell camera captured someone getting out of the vehicle, but it was not clear who the person was. Police reportedly searched the area but have not found anything else of note.
Carl Schuck said his son's wife called him, "indicating that he never returned from his last DoorDash delivery." The missing man had apparently texted his wife as he was making what was supposed to be one of his final deliveries of the night, per North Sewickley Police Chief Tyler Kelosky.
"After DoorDashing, he just reassured her that he would be home," Kelosky told area NBC affiliate WPXI.
Authorities have not shared what vehicle Zachariah Schuck was driving when he disappeared. The police chief did say that investigators found the key still in the ignition and the gas tank on empty.
"We're not ruling foul play out, but again, I don't want to speculate on anything until all the facts are established," he added in comments to WPXI.
Zachariah Schuck, who is about 6 feet tall, was last seen wearing a blue and red flannel shirt, blue jeans and brown boots, police said. Anyone with information about his disappearance is asked to contact the North Sewickley Township Police Department at 724-843-3421.
