Police in North Sewickley Township, Pennsylvania, are searching for Zachariah Schuck, 32, a DoorDash driver who has been missing since Oct. 22, according to a police Facebook post. Police said he was last seen making a delivery in Monaca, and that his car was later found abandoned on a nearby street around the time his phone lost service. The New York Post reports that police have not ruled out foul play. His father has suggested he could have been the victim of a carjacking, and told the Post that Schuck had recently lost his job as a manager for a truck leasing company. The Daily Mail also reports on the search and gives police's physical description of him.
