MISSING FATHER OF TWO VANISHES AFTER HIS FINAL DOORDASH DELIVERY — HIS CAR IS FOUND ABANDONED, AND HIS FAMILY IS DESPERATELY SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS
BEAVER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA — November 9, 2026
A 32-year-old father of two has been missing for more than two weeks after disappearing while working as a DoorDash delivery driver in Pennsylvania. His final delivery was completed, his cellphone suddenly lost its signal, and his vehicle was later discovered abandoned — leaving his family desperate to understand what happened.
Zachariah “Zach” Schuck, 32, of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, was last seen on the evening of October 22, 2026, in the Monaca area of Beaver County.
According to the North Sewickley Township Police Department, Schuck was working for DoorDash that evening. His last known delivery was completed at approximately 6:30 p.m.
What happened afterward remains unclear.
THE LAST KNOWN HOURS BEFORE HE DISAPPEARED
Police reported that Schuck was last seen traveling along Route 51 in the Monaca area between approximately 7:30 and 8 p.m.
Around 8 p.m., his cellphone lost coverage.
His vehicle was subsequently found abandoned on Coxall Avenue, also spelled Croxall Avenue in some reports, in the Hopewell Township area.
The discovery raised even more questions. Why was his vehicle left behind? Where had he gone? And had something happened between his final delivery and the moment his phone went silent?
According to his father, Carl Schuck, Zach had told his wife that he was heading home after completing his delivery.
But he never returned.
When his family realized he had not come home, concern quickly turned into an urgent search for answers.
HIS ABANDONED CAR AND THE MYSTERY OF THE DOORBELL CAMERA
One of the most troubling developments came after Zach’s vehicle was located.
Speaking to Pittsburgh’s Action News 4, his father explained that a tip shared through social media helped the family locate the car in the neighborhood where it had been abandoned.
A nearby doorbell camera had reportedly captured footage involving the vehicle.
However, the footage was not clear enough for Carl to determine whether the person seen getting out of the car was actually his son.
That uncertainty has become one of the family’s biggest concerns.
“Was it Zach? Or wasn’t it Zach? Or did something happen between the time that he did his last delivery and the time that the car was left there?” his father said.
Carl also explained that police searched the area near Vanport Bridge using infrared technology after investigators identified the area as relevant to the phone’s last known communication.
Despite these efforts, the family still does not have the answers it needs.
A FATHER OF TWO WHO HAS NOT COME HOME
Zach is not simply a name on a missing-person notice. He is a husband and a father whose disappearance has left his family facing an agonizing period of uncertainty.
His father revealed that Zach has two children, including a newborn.
He also shared that his son had lost his job several months earlier, raising the possibility that Zach may have been experiencing personal or financial difficulties.
Carl acknowledged that he could not rule out the possibility that his son had voluntarily left to take time away and regroup.
But he emphasized that the family simply wants to know where Zach is and whether he is safe.
His father also raised concerns about the possibility of a carjacking or another incident involving someone else.
Importantly, these are concerns and possibilities expressed by the family. Authorities have not publicly established that Zach was abducted, carjacked, or harmed.
POLICE APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC AS SEARCH CONTINUES
On November 6, North Sewickley Township police publicly renewed their appeal for information, confirming that the case remained under investigation.
Local news outlets, including CBS Pittsburgh, WPXI and WTAE, subsequently reported on the disappearance and the family’s efforts to locate him.
Police describe Zachariah Schuck as:
- Age: 32 years old
- Height: Approximately 6 feet
- Weight: Approximately 160 pounds
- Hair: Brown
- Eyes: Green
- Last known clothing: Blue and red flannel shirt, blue jeans and brown boots
- Last seen: October 22, 2026
- Last known area: Route 51, Monaca, Beaver County, Pennsylvania
His vehicle was discovered abandoned on Coxall/Croxall Avenue in the Hopewell Township area.
Investigators are particularly interested in information that could help establish his movements after his final delivery.
Residents who traveled along Route 51, near Vanport Bridge, or around the location where his vehicle was found are encouraged to review any available security-camera or doorbell-camera footage from the evening of October 22.
Even a seemingly minor detail could help investigators reconstruct his final known movements.
THE FAMILY’S MESSAGE: PLEASE HELP BRING ZACH HOME
As the days pass without answers, Carl is asking the public to remain respectful and avoid spreading unverified theories about his son’s disappearance.
He understands that people may have different explanations for what happened, but the family’s priority remains finding Zach.
“Be mindful and respectful of the situations that we’re in,” Carl said, explaining that the family is not interested in speculation.
“All we’re trying to do is find Zach if he’s out there. The priority is to make sure that he’s safe and returned.”
For a family waiting for a husband, son and father to come home, every unanswered question makes the situation more painful.
