Amador County – Amador and Calaveras County Sheriff’s Departments are seeking any leads as to the possible whereabouts of a Stockton man who went missing June 7 at the Moore Creek Campground in Calaveras County. Steve Leslie Sid, a 52-year-old Asian male, was last seen wearing dark denim jeans a white t-shirt and tennis shoes. He is 5’ 10”, approximately 180 pounds. Since the initial missing person report on June 7, “there have been possible sightings by individuals who were in the area of the Moore Creek Campground,’ according to a release from the Amador Sheriff’s Department. The most recent was by a Pacific Gas & Electric employee conducting maintenance work on campgrounds and residences in the area of the Moore Creek and Mokelumne River Campgrounds on Sunday June 8. The employee reported June 10 a possible sighting of Sid near the Moore Creek Tributary. The witness reported that Sid “did not appear to be in distress” and the Stockton Police Department has since deemed that Sid’s disappearance is suspicious in nature. On June 9 and 10, a cooperative search was conducted by foot and helicopter with the assistance of K-9 units. The Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office said it has suspended its search at this time, but the Amador Office says it is still looking. At the present time the Amador County Sheriff's Office is treating Sid’s disappearance as a missing person and is requesting the public’s assistance. On June 7, Sid left Stockton to go camping with friends at the Moore Creek Campground. Just before dark, he took a walk and did not return to the campsite. His companions returned to Stockton and reported him missing. If you have any information as to the whereabouts of Steve Sid, contact the Amador County Sheriff’s Department at (209) 223-6500 or the Calaveras Sheriff’s Department at (209) 754-6500.
