I will pray for him. That's a real bad news for every parent o­n the Earth - a missing of an own child. Poor Walter must be in permanent mental agony.
It's hardly possible, that Andrew may be in Poland, but I run that news on our site www.star-trek.com.pl, just in case. |

| I have to confess that I had never heard of Andrew Koenig before. He's a good-looking guy. I feel badly about him disappearing but trust that the Mounties will solve the mystery soon. Like many of you, I feel that the cast of "Star Trek" is family. |

It would be like finding a needle in the haystack.
Vancouver right now is swamped with visitors for the Olympics. The police and RCMP are maxed out.
Either he's on a retreat (and there's lots of those in BC) where he's doing a little soul searching...
or...
I'd start looking for shoes washing ashore along the beaches. |

It sounds like his family might have a clearer idea of his mental state than what they're telling the press. There's references to him being 'despondent' without any real indication as to why ...and it's that 'why' - which I suspect the family knows but isn't sharing publicly - that is probably at the root of the serious concern for his well-being.
Lets hope the story soon comes to a happy 'move along folks, there's nothing here to see' conclusion... |

Sorry. The response is so great that the guestbook fills up approximately every 20 minutes. We're working on getting a forum up for the notes, but in the meantime I'm trying to archive and empty the guestbook as soon as it fills.. so check back if you find it full.
Thanks for all the support.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — The parents of missing "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig issued an emotional plea on Wednesday for their son to contact them.
Koenig, 41, was visiting friends in Vancouver when he went missing more than a week ago.
The Venice, Calif., native had a recurring role on the 1980s sitcom as Boner, a pal of star Kirk Cameron's character, Mike.
"We just want to know you're OK," a distraught Walter Koenig told a news conference, wife Judith at his side.
Walter Koenig, best known for playing Pavel Chekov on the original "Star Trek" television series, said Wednesday his son stopped taking antidepressant medication about a year ago.
"We think he's probably in a very depressed state," he said.
Vancouver police Constable Tim Fanning said there has been no activity on Koenig's cell phone or bank records since Feb. 16. Fanning said Vancouver's 1,000-acre (405-hectare), thickly forested Stanley Park, which Koenig loved, has been searched thoroughly.
"There is no evidence to lead us to believe Andrew was in the park in the last few days," Fanning said.
Fanning said the actor has no history of drinking or drug use, and everything points to him still being in Vancouver. But, he added, "there's no fresh place for us to search unless we get more information in."
Walter Koenig said he had been aware that his son had cleaned out his Los Angeles apartment. He did not know his son planned to move to Vancouver, which is what Andrew told friends before he disappeared.
Judith Koenig said her son's depression has been a concern. She said Andrew's friends said he was detached before he vanished.
"There was a certain pattern of closing out things, giving away things," she said.
Walter said his son doesn't feel Los Angeles is the place for him, but he praised his son for his acting, film editing and directing work. He said his son also is a busy environmental activist.
According to the post, Andrew had been "suffering from clinical depression." It goes on to say that before he left his home in Los Angeles, Andrew sent his father a letter that was "despondent" in tone. More alarming, he sold a number of his possessions before his trip, and refused a job offer, saying he "wasn't going to work any more."
Radar Online has a theory: Koenig made a long-planned move to Vancouver. The site is reporting that the actor gave his landlord 30 days notice on his Venice, California, rental in January, and seemed to be planning to leave LA for Vancouver, where he had once lived. That's what "Growing Pains" costar Kirk Cameron is hoping. The fellow actor released a statement, asking his old friend to call him. Other friends have helped get the word out: Sarah Silverman and Alyssa Milano are sending updates on Twitter. |

| Sadly, there is no "may" about it. |
