On May 20, 2016, Schiendelman's Chrysler Sebring was discovered
abandoned along the southbound lane of Interstate 5 with his wallet, driver's license, and cell phone still inside. Three different drivers called 911 to report a car drifting across three lanes of traffic at a slow speed. The callers also reported seeing a white man with either light brown or red hair jump out of the moving vehicle and proceed to run towards the woods. Schiendelman’s whereabouts remain unknown.
