Summary
Isaac Seidel, a 36-year-old man from Blain, Pennsylvania, disappeared on September 12, 2021. His loved ones grew concerned when Isaac missed several days of work, prompting them to visit his home. There, they discovered a chilling scene: Isaac, who lived alone, was gone, but his bicycle, backpack, and phone were missing. Everything else seemed untouched, including chicken thawing in the sink, suggesting he had planned to return home to cook dinner.
Initially, Isaac’s family feared he might have suffered a tragic accident, and they began combing the roads near his home, searching ditches and ravines, but found no trace of him. Now, several years later, they continue to search for answers, holding onto hope that they will uncover the truth behind his disappearance.
If you have any information regarding Isaac Seidel’s whereabouts, please contact the Pennsylvania State Police at (717) 567-3110. Isaac was last seen with his dark green Cannondale bicycle.
