Summary

Yesterday, we shared the first part of Isaac Seidel's story, providing insight into his life and the events leading up to his disappearance. You learned that Isaac vanished along with his bike, phone, and backpack, leaving behind everything else at his home. Isaac hadn't mentioned to anyone that he had plans to go anywhere. In fact, it appeared that Isaac was simply going about his usual Sunday routine. He had chicken thawing, something he regularly did to prep meals for the week. It seemed he set out for a bike ride, intending to return in time for dinner. But something happened to Isaac, and several years later, his whereabouts remain unknown.

If you have any information about Isaac Seidel’s disappearance, please contact the Pennsylvania State Police at (717) 567-3110. Isaac’s dark green Cannondale bicycle is also missing.
