A 32-year-old DoorDash driver disappeared while working in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, leaving his family desperate for answers after his vehicle was found abandoned and his cellphone stopped transmitting. Zachariah Schuck, known to his family as Zach, was last seen on October 22, 2026. More than two weeks later, authorities were still trying to establish what happened during the final hours of his delivery shift.
Schuck was making DoorDash deliveries in the Monaca area that Thursday evening. According to police, his final known delivery was completed at approximately 6:30 p.m. He reportedly told his wife afterward that he was heading home. However, he never made it back, and his family soon became concerned when they could no longer reach him.
Police said Schuck was last seen traveling along Route 51 between approximately 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. His cellphone lost coverage around 8 p.m., leaving investigators without a clear digital trail of his movements. Authorities have not established why the phone stopped transmitting or what happened to him after his last reported sighting.
His vehicle was eventually found abandoned on Croxall Avenue in Hopewell Township. According to his father, Carl Schuck, a tip shared on social media helped the family locate the vehicle on Saturday, October 24, two days after his disappearance. The discovery raised further questions because there was still no confirmed information about where Zach had gone.
A nearby doorbell camera reportedly captured footage involving the vehicle, including a figure walking away from it. However, Carl said the video quality was too poor for him to determine whether the person seen leaving the vehicle was his son. That detail has become another part of the family’s search for answers, although the footage does not establish who the person was.
The search also involved efforts to trace Schuck’s last cellphone communication. His wife reportedly went to the Vanport Bridge area after learning that it was where his phone last communicated with a cell tower. Carl told local reporters that police used infrared equipment to search around the area. Despite those efforts, his son’s whereabouts remained unknown in the latest reports.
Schuck is described as approximately 6 feet tall and weighing 160 pounds. He has brown hair and green eyes. When he disappeared, he was wearing a blue and red flannel shirt, blue jeans and brown boots. Police are asking anyone who may have seen him that evening or afterward to come forward.
For his family, the unanswered questions extend beyond the abandoned vehicle. His father has spoken publicly about the family’s frustration over the lack of clear information, particularly because the available surveillance footage has not established who left the car. Every hour of that evening matters as investigators try to piece together his final known movements.
The North Sewickley Township Police Department continues to seek information about Schuck’s disappearance. Anyone who may have seen him along Route 51, near the Vanport Bridge, or around the area where his vehicle was discovered is urged to contact the department at 724-843-3421 or 724-843-8118. As of November 9, 2026, no confirmed recovery or resolution had been publicly announced.
