Sean M. Carpenter

The search for a missing Jamestown man continued Friday as Jamestown police, with assistance from the State Police Aviation Unit, searched various sections of the city with a helicopter.

The search for 35-yer-old Sean Carpenter has gone into its second week after the city man was last seen in the early morning hours of April 11 heading toward his home on Superior Street. He has not been seen or heard of since.

Capt. Robert Samuelson of the Jamestown Police Department said a state police helicopter was used Friday morning to “search the areas that were not real accessible by foot” in the ongoing search for Carpenter, a native of Warren, Pa.

A ground search of the missing Jamestown man was expected Friday as well, Samuelson said.

The Chadakoin River was lowered last Friday as part of the search operation.

Amy McCellan, a friend of Carpenter, has started a Facebook page “Sean Carpenter Missing Person Jamestown New York.”

“We don’t really understand fully the whole scope of his disappearance,” Mcclellan told the Times Observer newspaper in Warren. “Right now we’re just doing everything we can to get him home.”

Anyone with information regarding Carpenter’s disappearance is asked to contact Jamestown police at 483-TIPS.
