NEW SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE REVEALS MYSTERY MOMENTS BEFORE FATHER OF TWO VANISHED DURING DOORDASH SHIFT — POLICE RELEASE TIMELINE AS FAMILY BEGS FOR ANSWERS
BEAVER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA — A new piece of surveillance footage has added another troubling mystery to the disappearance of 32-year-old Zachariah Schuck, a married father of two who vanished while working as a DoorDash driver in Pennsylvania.
More than two weeks after he was last heard from, investigators are trying to determine who was seen getting out of his abandoned vehicle and walking away along a neighborhood street.
The black-and-white doorbell camera footage, obtained by WPXI, appears to show someone parking Zachariah’s black Chevrolet Impala, stepping out and walking down the road.
But there is one ᑕriᩚtiᩚcal detail investigators have not been able to establish: Was the person in the footage actually Zachariah?
His family desperately wants to know.
Zachariah was last seen on the evening of October 22, 2026, in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He had been completing food deliveries when he disappeared, leaving behind a vehicle, unanswered questions and a family waiting for him to come home.
HIS LAST KNOWN DELIVERY — AND THE MESSAGE THAT HE WAS COMING HOME
According to North Sewickley Township police, Zachariah was working for DoorDash on October 22.
His last known delivery was completed in the Monaca area at approximately 6:30 p.m.
Before disappearing, he had been communicating with his wife and reportedly reassured her that he would be coming home after finishing his deliveries.
Police Chief Tyler Kelosky told WPXI that Zachariah had texted his wife while completing what was expected to be one of his final deliveries of the evening.
“After DoorDashing, he just reassured her that he would be home,” Kelosky explained.
But he never arrived.
The last confirmed communication and the disappearance that followed have left his family struggling to understand what happened during those final hours.
A DOORBELL CAMERA CAPTURES SOMEONE LEAVING HIS CAR
Approximately 90 minutes after his final known delivery, a neighborhood security camera captured Zachariah’s vehicle in the area.
The footage shows a person parking the black Chevrolet Impala before getting out and walking away.
However, the recording is grainy, and the person’s identity cannot be confirmed.
For investigators, identifying that individual could be an important step toward understanding the disappearance.
For Zachariah’s father, Carl Schuck, the uncertainty has been agonizing.
Speaking with WTAE, Carl questioned whether the person seen leaving the vehicle was actually his son.
“Was it Zach? Or wasn’t it Zach?” he asked.
He also wondered whether something had happened to his son between the time of his final delivery and the moment the vehicle was left behind.
The family cannot determine whether Zachariah walked away from the car himself or whether another person was involved.
That unanswered question has become one of the most important parts of the investigation.
HIS CAR WAS FOUND WITH THE KEYS STILL INSIDE — AND NO GAS
Police received information about Zachariah’s abandoned vehicle on October 24, two days after he disappeared.
When authorities located the car on Croxall Avenue in the Hopewell Township area, they discovered several unusual details.
The keys were still in the ignition.
The vehicle’s gas tank was empty.
Investigators searched the surrounding area, but Zachariah was nowhere to be found.
His cellphone had also lost coverage at approximately 8 p.m. on October 22, around the time the vehicle was reportedly seen in the neighborhood.
Despite the discovery of the car, authorities have not established what happened to its driver.
A CELL PHONE SIGNAL LED HIS WIFE TO THE VANPORT BRIDGE
Another important part of the investigation involves the Vanport Bridge.
According to information shared by the family, Zachariah’s wife used his last known phone-location information to identify the bridge area as a possible location of interest.
The Vanport Bridge is approximately 11 miles from where his abandoned vehicle was discovered.
Police searched the bridge and surrounding area, hoping to find Zachariah or his cellphone.
Neither was located.
The search has left investigators with two separate locations to consider: the area where his vehicle was abandoned and the bridge area associated with his last known phone location.
At this stage, authorities have not publicly established how or why those locations are connected.
HIS FAMILY SAYS HE HAD BEEN GOING THROUGH MAJOR LIFE CHANGES
As the search continues, Zachariah’s family has also spoken about the personal circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
His father revealed that his son had recently experienced significant changes in his life.
Zachariah had welcomed a new baby into the family, but had also recently lost his job as a manager overseeing Penske truck-leasing branches in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The combination of becoming a new father and facing an unexpected employment setback had created a challenging period for the family.
However, his relatives are still searching for answers and have not established that these circumstances had anything to do with his disappearance.
Their focus remains on finding him and determining whether he is safe.
POLICE ASK NEIGHBORS TO CHECK THEIR SECURITY CAMERAS
On November 10, Hopewell Township police renewed their appeal for help from the public.
Investigators specifically asked residents in the Davidson Heights neighborhood, particularly those living near Croxall Avenue, to review home-security and doorbell-camera recordings from the evening of October 22, especially around 8 p.m.
Even footage that appears ordinary or insignificant could provide investigators with an important clue.
Police are particularly interested in seeing whether anyone captured unusual activity involving Zachariah’s vehicle or a person walking through the neighborhood.
The appeal comes as the family continues to wait for information that might help explain what happened.
His father, Carl, described the past two and a half weeks as extremely difficult.
“All that I’m asking for is for him to come home,” he said.
WHO IS ZACHARIAH SCHUCK?
Zachariah is 32 years old and is described as approximately six feet tall, weighing around 160 pounds.
He has brown hair and green eyes.
<text weight=”semibold”>He was last known to be wearing:</text>
- A blue and red flannel shirt.
- Blue jeans.
- Brown boots.
He is a married father of two, and his family is desperately hoping for his safe return.
THE QUESTIONS THAT REMAIN
More than two weeks after Zachariah disappeared, several important questions remain unanswered.
Was the person captured by the doorbell camera actually Zachariah?
Why was his vehicle left on Croxall Avenue with the keys still in the ignition and an empty gas tank?
What happened between his final DoorDash delivery and the moment his cellphone lost coverage?
And why did his last known phone location point investigators toward the Vanport Bridge?
Police have not publicly determined what happened to him, and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain under investigation.
For Carl, Taylor and the rest of the family, every passing day brings more uncertainty.
They are asking anyone who may have seen Zachariah, his vehicle or anything unusual in the area that evening to come forward.
A husband never made it home. Two children are waiting for their father. And a family is still searching for the answers that could bring Zachariah Schuck back to them.
Anyone with information is urged to contact North Sewickley Township Police Department at 724-843-3421 or 724-843-8118.
Please share Zachariah’s story. Even the smallest detail could help investigators find him. ❤️
