Video Shows DoorDash Driver's Last Pickup Before He Vanished

The clip, handed to local news outlets by New Sheffield Café on Brodhead Road in Center Township, captures Schuck walking into the restaurant in a blue and red flannel shirt, jeans and brown boots. He emerges with a food order, climbs back into his car and pulls off to make the delivery, which was completed around 6:30 p.m. on October 22 in Monaca, roughly 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. He never made it home to his wife.

About 90 minutes later, Schuck's car was found abandoned on Croxall Avenue in a residential stretch of Hopewell Township, and investigators say his phone went dark at around the same time. Police have cleared the person who received that last delivery as a suspect, according to his father, Carl Schuck, who spoke to the New York Post. What happened after the car was left behind remains a blank.

Carl Schuck said detectives reviewed Ring camera footage from the street where the vehicle was found and spotted an unidentified man getting out of it. That footage still hasn't answered the central question. “I've been thinking about this all morning,” he told the outlet. “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 father said his son, who had recently lost his job managing Penske truck leasing branches across Pennsylvania and Ohio, had no known enemies and no history of mental health issues. He and his wife had just welcomed their second child. “There were no indicators…of any kind of mental issues or stress that he showed, but with the economy the way that it is, with the loss of his job, there was a lot of pressure,” Carl Schuck said. He floated a carjacking as one possibility, and noted someone suggested his son may have jumped from the nearby Vanport Bridge. “But that's all irrelevant until we can verify who got out of that car,” he said.

Police are asking residents of the Davidson Heights area of Hopewell, another Pittsburgh suburb, to comb through home security and surveillance footage for any trace of Schuck. DoorDash said in a statement Wednesday to The Independent: “Our hearts are with Mr. Schuck's family and friends as they wait for answers. We are in contact with law enforcement and will support their investigation however we can.”
