A father-of-two driving for DoorDash to make ends meet has been missing for nearly three weeks in Pennsylvania and police have not ruled out foul play in the mysterious disappearance.
Zachariah Schuck, 32, was last seen making his final delivery of the night on the evening of October 22 in the borough of Monaca, 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, the North Sewickley Township Police Department said in a Facebook post Saturday.
Authorities said Schuck completed his last known DoorDash delivery at around 6:30 p.m. His cellphone lost signal around 8 p.m., and he has not been heard from since.
He has been described by police as 6 feet tall, with green eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing a blue and red flannel shirt, blue jeans and brown boots.
Schuck is a married father-of-two and recently welcomed a second baby with his wife. He also recently lost his job as a manager for Penske truck leasing branches in Pennsylvania and Ohio, his father, Carl Schuck, told The New York Post Monday.
His father said that police reviewed Ring camera footage from the street where his son’s car was found and saw an unidentified man getting out of the vehicle. However, that lead went nowhere.
“I’ve been thinking about this all morning,” Carl Schuck told the Post. “The bottom line is that until I know who got out of the vehicle…because I can’t verify that it’s Zach, I can’t determine what happened.”
“Something could have happened from the time he completed his last delivery…to the time that individual got out of the vehicle I can’t verify what happened,” he said.
Carl Schuck said that the customer who received his son’s last delivery had been cleared as a suspect. The father also suggested several other theories about what had happened.
“It could have been a carjacking. One person suggested that he may have jumped off of the [nearby] Vanport Bridge. But that’s all irrelevant until we can verify who got out of that car,” his father said.
He noted his son had no known enemies or mental health issues, and that his daughter-in-law was “distraught” over his mysterious disappearance.
“He was always in a good mood, always happy. His family had no indicators that there was anything wrong,” Carl Schuck said. “There were no indicators…of any kind of mental issues or stress that he showed, but with the economy the way that it is, with the loss of his job, there was a lot of pressure.”
Police are asking anyone who lives in the Davidson Heights area of Hopewell, another suburb of Pittsburgh, to review home security cameras or surveillance footage that may have captured the missing man’s whereabouts.
"Even something that seems insignificant could provide valuable information," police said.
Carl Shuck added: “As long as he’s alive, we can fix things.”
In a statement, DoorDash toldThe Independent: “Our hearts are with Mr. Schuck’s family and friends as they wait for answers. We are in contact with law enforcement and will support their investigation however we can.”
