discovered, specifically the woods adjacent to the shoulder of the interstate. Searches were done both on foot and by aircraft, but no sign of Schiendelman was found. In June 2016, Ware told NBC News: "The area is extremely thick and brushy. I’ve spent hours out there searching myself. Canines were brought in to search and it’s been covered extensively. But nothing has been found." The Schiendelman family subsequently hired a private investigator to research his disappearance, but noted that "little information" was available, making search efforts difficult. Because Schiendelman's vehicle had been impounded and had not been processed by a crime lab, any potential evidence inside was rendered unusable. Using cell phone records, law enforcement were able to track Schiendelman's movements on the morning of May 20, which showed he had traveled towards Interstate 5 heading south; he then turned around and headed north before reversing direction again, heading south on Interstate 5 and eventually stopping where his vehicle was recovered. Early in the investigation, law enforcement questioned the boyfriend of Schiendelman's half-sister, who had recently moved into their household. Tension between Schiendelman and her boyfriend prompted detectives to question him, though he was ruled out as having any involvement in Schiendelman's disappearance after passing a polygraph examination. Publicity Following Schiendelman's disappearance, his family launched a large internet campaign asking the community for information in his disappearance. A Facebook page was established, which had grown to over 6,500 members by June 2016. Local volunteers helped raise $10,000 in reward funds by selling bracelets bearing his name at Tumwater High School. Among these fundraisers was a large garage sale of donated items, held in Olympia in August 2016. Schiendelman's disappearance was profiled on the Investigation Discovery docu-series Disappeared on April 8, 2018. Schiendelman’s disappearance is also the subject of season 2 of the Hide and Seek podcast.
