Disturbing doorbell-camera footage has surfaced as investigators search for a Pennsylvania DoorDash driver who disappeared after completing his final delivery.
Zachariah Schuck, 32, vanished in Beaver County on October 22, shortly after finishing a delivery at about 6:30 p.m., his family said.
Schuck texted his wife, Jenn, that he would be home soon. However, the father of two never returned, according to the North Sewickley Township Police Department.
Investigators now have a potential new lead: Schuck’s car was seen being parked roughly an hour later in Hopewell Township, about 11 miles from Beaver County, WPXI reported.
The black-and-white footage appears to show an unidentified person parking Schuck’s vehicle, stepping out and walking away down the road, the outlet said.
Authorities have not determined whether the person shown in the video is Schuck or someone else.
Hopewell police were notified on October 24 about a vehicle believed to be linked to a missing-person case. Officers later confirmed that the car belonged to Schuck.
Search teams examined the roadway where the vehicle was found as well as a nearby wooded area. Drones and search-and-rescue dogs were used, but investigators found no additional clues.

The vehicle was found with the keys still in the ignition, no gas in the tank and the engine switched off, North Sewickley Police Chief Tyler Kelosky said.
“The goal is to bring him home safely. We’re exploring all possibilities,” Kelosky said. “We’re not ruling foul play out, but again, I don’t want to speculate on anything until the facts are established.”
Kelosky said state police met Jenn on the night Schuck disappeared at the Vanport Bridge, the location where she had last tracked him through the Life360 app.
Officers searched around the bridge but did not locate Schuck. The bridge is approximately 11 miles from the spot where his car was discovered.
The development came days after Schuck’s father, Carl, spoke publicly about his last communication with his missing son.
Carl told the US Sun that he last spoke with Zachariah sometime in October. He had previously visited his son’s family in Pennsylvania at the end of July.

Carl said none of those conversations suggested that anything was wrong.
Police describe Schuck as 6 feet tall, with brown hair and green eyes. He was last seen wearing a red-and-blue flannel shirt, jeans and brown boots
“I asked him how everything’s going, and there’s really no indicators of anything going on in our conversations,” Carl said, describing his son as someone who “always appears to be very positive.”
“If things are down, he tries to bring them up.”
Before his disappearance, Schuck had been laid off from his position as a manager overseeing Penske truck-leasing branches in Pennsylvania and Ohio. He and Jenn had also recently welcomed a newborn, Carl told the New York Post.
Carl said the Ring-camera footage has remained at the center of his thoughts.
“The bottom line is that until I know who got out of the vehicle … because I can’t verify that it’s Zach, I can’t determine what happened,” the concerned father said.
“Something could have happened from the time he completed his last delivery … to the time that individual got out of the vehicle. I can’t verify what happened,” he added.
Carl said the person who received Schuck’s final delivery has been ruled out as a suspect.
“It could have been a carjacking. One person suggested that he may have jumped off of the Vanport Bridge. But that’s all irrelevant until we can verify who got out of that car,” Carl said.

Carl said his son had no known mental-health problems or enemies, although he acknowledged that something might have been happening without the family realizing it.
“He was always in a good mood, always happy. His family had no indicators that there was anything wrong,” Carl said.
Schuck is described as 6 feet tall, with brown hair and green eyes. Police said he was last seen wearing a red-and-blue flannel shirt, jeans and brown boots.
Anyone with information about Schuck’s whereabouts has been asked to contact police immediately.
