The brother of professional wrestler and former WWE star Shotzi Blackheart has vanished in San Francisco after walking away from a car crash, prompting an urgent search by federal park police.

Dean Urbanski, 51, was last seen Tuesday afternoon at Fort Mason, according to the U.S. Park Police, who are asking for the public’s help locating the man. Fort Mason is located in the bay city near the water.

In an Instagram post, Ashley Urbanski, known by her ring name Shotzi Blackheart, said her brother, whom she called “Deano,” had been involved in a car crash near Fort Mason before he disappeared.

“Security footage shows him walking away from the vehicle afterward,” she wrote in the post.

“He may be confused or disoriented.”

A search was launched and police released a photo that shows Urbanski walking in the park around 1:45 p.m., after the car crash.

He was “notably wearing only one brown/tan slipper” when he was spotted.

Urbanski was wearing what appears to be light blue jeans, a black shirt and a gray or blue long-sleeve shirt. Investigators also noted that he has identifiable neck tattoos.

Police added that Urbanski was last seen walking toward Bay and Laguna streets.
