DoorDash dad vanished after texting wife, his car found dumped in gravel patch with key still in ignition and a mystery figure seen walking away: Cops​

A man in Pennsylvania was delivering for DoorDash when he disappeared and his vehicle was found abandoned, authorities say.

The North Sewickley Township Police Department has announced it is searching for 32-year-old Zachariah Schuck. He has been missing for nearly three weeks.

On Oct. 22, Schuck was delivering for DoorDash in the area of Monaca, Pennsylvania. The Beaver County borough is located about 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.

Schuck had lost a separate job a few months before, his father, Carl Schuck, told local ABC affiliate WTAE. The younger man was a father of two, having just recently welcomed his second child into the world.

At about 6:30 p.m. that day, Schuck made a delivery. About 90 minutes later, his cellphone pinged for a final time around the Vanport Bridge in Beaver County, and sometime after that, his vehicle was found "abandoned" in a gravel patch near Croxall Avenue in Hopewell Township, Pennsylvania, about a 20-minute drive south of Monaca.

According to Carl Schuck, a neighbor's doorbell camera captured someone getting out of the vehicle, but it was not clear who the person was. Police reportedly searched the area but have not found anything else of note.

Carl Schuck said his son's wife called him, "indicating that he never returned from his last DoorDash delivery." The missing man had apparently texted his wife as he was making what was supposed to be one of his final deliveries of the night, per North Sewickley Police Chief Tyler Kelosky.

"After DoorDashing, he just reassured her that he would be home," Kelosky told area NBC affiliate WPXI.

Authorities have not shared what vehicle Zachariah Schuck was driving when he disappeared. The police chief did say that investigators found the key still in the ignition and the gas tank on empty.

"We're not ruling foul play out, but again, I don't want to speculate on anything until all the facts are established," he added in comments to WPXI.

Hopewell Township police renew call for public’s help to find missing DoorDash driver​

The search continues for a missing DoorDash driver last seen in Beaver County, and on Tuesday, Hopewell police renewed their efforts to bring Zachariah Schuck home.

They’re asking people who live in the Davidson Heights area, particularly near Croxall Avenue, to review any home security or surveillance camera footage from the evening of October 22, 2026 around 8 p.m.

Schuck’s abandoned car was found in the neighborhood shortly after his disappearance on October 22.

Channel 11 spoke with Zachariah’s father, Carl Schuck, over the phone. He said the last two-and-a-half weeks have been extremely difficult as his family searches for clues about where his son could be.

“All that I’m asking is for him to come home,” Carl said.

Carl Schuck told Channel 11 his son, a 32-year-old husband and father of two, had been recently laid off from Penske and was working as a DoorDash driver to pay the bills.

“They were dealing with financial situations due to the newborn, due to the house foreclosure, and just other personal situations that they were going through,” Carl said.

DoorDash confirmed to Channel 11 Schuck signed off the platform shortly after completing his last delivery. That was just before 7 p.m. on October 22. About an hour later, video shows his black Chevy Impala being parked along Croxall Avenue in Hopewell Township, but it’s unclear who gets out.

“If somebody did something in between those time frames, I just want to know what happened,” Carl said. “Zach, the number one priority is to get you back with the family and we can go through the situations that occurred, and maybe any financial or personal situations that you’re involved with right now, as long as you’re alive, any of this could be fixed.”

North Sewickley police have no ruled out foul play and said they’re investigating all avenues in this case.

DoorDash sent this statement to Channel 11:

“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.”

Oh, this is frightening. I’m hearing more and more bad stories about DoorDash driving. Just different negative aspects of it. But this is definitely the worst! I wonder if he was having any stressors from losing his job and having a new baby? Other than that, I would say it probably is foul play.

I can see this one going either way of either he bailed or he was taken.

I wonder if the phone was tossed over the bridge? Or if it was just powered off at that time.

investigators found the key still in the ignition and the gas tank on empty

Also, was the tank "on empty" or was it completely out of gas / inoperable?

Carl Schuck told Channel 11 his son, a 32-year-old husband and father of two, had been recently laid off from Penske and was working as a DoorDash driver to pay the bills.

“They were dealing with financial situations due to the newborn, due to the house foreclosure, and just other personal situations that they were going through,” Carl said.

This is all concerning though. Laid off, house foreclosure, new baby on the way, and "other" things too.

The tank being empty could either mean he was driving until he couldn’t drive it anymore, and he was still upset, or somebody took it and drove it till they couldn’t drive it anymore.

Or he or perp walked off with it running and it ran until it ran out of gas, Not saying this is what happened. Just another possibility.
