Authorities have confirmed that Bianchi’s phone, wallet, and car were all left behind at the couple’s residence on Forrest Pointe Drive. Compounding concerns, Bianchi, who has diabetes, has a continuous glucose monitor linked to his phone, which he also did not take with him. His wife, Julianna Zyra, expressed her distress to local media, stating, “There’s a way to check his blood sugar without it, but I don’t know if he has that equipment with him.”
In her comments, Zyra indicated that Bianchi has been grappling with mental health issues for some time. “Nobody really knows about it,” she explained. “It’s not fair. And I really wish people would stay off the internet, hypothesizing things that happened, he’s very sick and he is not in the right headspace.” She implored her husband, saying, “Whatever it is that’s going on, there are so many people who care about you and want you to be okay.”
The local police have encouraged residents to check their security cameras and report any potential sightings of Bianchi. He is described as standing at 5 feet 11 inches tall, with brown hair and blue-green eyes. According to police reports, he was last seen wearing black sweatpants and a black shirt, and may have been wearing a baseball cap.
Zyra and Bianchi married only a few months prior to his disappearance, and she has been open about her worries. “I know you feel really alone, but there are people who want to help you,” she noted in a heartfelt message to her husband.
The East Greenbush Police Department is actively investigating the case, and they have asked anyone who may have seen Bianchi or has information to contact them directly at 518-479-2525.
