New surveillance video shows Zach Schuck, 32, showing up to New Sheffield Cafe in Center Township to pick up a DoorDash order.

He’s seen going in and out of the restaurant, then walking back to his car and driving away. According to law enforcement, he delivers that order to a home in the Beaver area — just before 7 p.m. on Oct. 22. He’s been missing ever since.

Shortly after the delivery was made, Schuck’s father-in-law says his daughter received a text from Zach saying, “Everything will be okay.”

“Nobody in their right mind would ever imagine something like this would happen,” Jeff West said.

West shared a statement on behalf of Zach’s wife and her family, addressing circumstances they say Zach hid from his wife and public speculation about her.

“She is not involved in any way, shape or form,” West said.

West says his daughter delivered their second child on Oct. 2. He says the next day she learned their house had been foreclosed on then on Oct. 22, he disappeared.

“Not only that, we discovered hundreds of thousands of more debt that she had no idea,” West said. “They’ve been together for seven years; never in my life did I expect something to go drastically wrong. Obviously, he lost a job and my daughter never knew.”

North Sewickley Police say the night Zach disappeared, his wife met state police near the Vanport Bridge. That’s where she said she last located him using the Life 360 app.

State police confirmed they searched along the bridge and didn’t find his cell phone.

Police also shared doorbell video showing the car Zach was driving being parked along Croxall Avenue in Hopewell. West says that’s actually his car that he let Zach borrow.

Inside — police say they found the keys in the ignition and no gas in the tank. West added that a DoorDash delivery bag and a phone charger were also left behind.

Still, West says Schuck is a great dad and his family misses him.

“We miss you. Your kids miss you. My grandson comes home from school, runs to the back door and stands there and cries. They’re best friends, and it’s heartbreaking,” West said.

North Sewickley police have not ruled out foul play and said they’re investigating all avenues in this case.
