A Pennsylvania man disappeared while making DoorDash deliveries, and police later found his vehicle abandoned, authorities said.
The North Sewickley Township Police Department announced that it is searching for 32-year-old Zachariah Schuck, who has been missing for nearly three weeks.
Schuck was delivering orders in Monaca, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 22. The Beaver County borough sits roughly 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
His father, Carl Schuck, told local ABC affiliate WTAE that Schuck had lost another job several months earlier. The 32-year-old is a father of two and had recently welcomed his second child.
Schuck completed a delivery at approximately 6:30 p.m. that evening. About an hour and a half later, his cellphone registered its final ping near the Vanport Bridge in Beaver County. His vehicle was subsequently discovered abandoned in a gravel area near Croxall Avenue in Hopewell Township, about a 20-minute drive south of Monaca.
Carl Schuck said a neighbor’s doorbell camera recorded someone exiting the vehicle, although the footage did not establish the person’s identity. Police searched the surrounding area but reportedly found no additional evidence.

Carl Schuck said his son’s wife contacted him and told him that Schuck had not come home from his final DoorDash delivery. According to North Sewickley Police Chief Tyler Kelosky, Schuck had texted his wife while completing what was expected to be one of his last deliveries of the night.
“After DoorDashing, he just reassured her that he would be home,” Kelosky told local NBC affiliate WPXI.
Authorities have not identified the vehicle Schuck was driving when he vanished. The police chief said investigators found the key in the ignition and the gas tank empty.
“We’re not ruling foul play out, but again, I don’t want to speculate on anything until all the facts are established,” Kelosky told WPXI.
Police said Schuck is approximately 6 feet tall. He was last seen wearing a blue-and-red flannel shirt, blue jeans and brown boots. Anyone with information about his disappearance is urged to contact the North Sewickley Township Police Department at 724-843-3421.
