    According to news reports and friends, he was due to return from Vancouver on the 16th; he never did. Last time he was seen was on the 14th in Vancouver.

    I've known Andrew for about a year now; I met him through a mutual friend at a comedy improv show they do. He's funny and clever and has been a good friend. Prior to this I'd worked with his sister on a reality show. They're good people and it is heartbreaking to see everyone so worried.

    To anyone in Vancouver, his friend Jenny posted this on Facebook:

    He's friends with my ex-boyfriend. We chatted a few times after said comedy show. Nice guy...and very disturbing that he's missing. Thanks, doubleohfive, for posting. I hope he's found safe and healthy soon.

    I dropped a line to a couple of friends who work in the TV industry in Vancouver (she's an actress, and he's worked as a propmaker on the various Stargate shows), and they've forwarded it on to their local friends in the industry.

    Damn, I hope he's ok. Unfortunately with something like the Olympics, a bunch of wierdos always show up.

    That sounds ominous. I hope he just needed some alone time and that he will be found safe. :(

    @TorontoTrekker -- thank you. I knew once you saw this you would be able to help spread the word.

    I was out with a bunch of the guys from the comedy improv show last night and we all remain hopeful that Andrew is just off on walkabout or something -- which wouldn't be too out of character for him. Still, it would be awfully nice to find him.

    Until then, Five Things You Need To Know About Andrew Koenig.

    I hope he's okay and that he's merely taking a break "off the grid". Here's hoping he's found safe and sound.

    Well, somehow 005, word has gotten out. One of our local new stations here in the Buffalo, NY area (WIVB-Buffalo) just aired a story about Andrew being missing since Valentine's Day. The story also mentioned that he's the son of Walter Koenig of Star Trek fame. I hope he's found well and that this is some sort of misunderstanding.

    I've been following this on the news. I hope he turns up soon and all this worry is for nothing. :(

    I hear they have pills now to help you if you are missing Boner.

    I hope the guy is okay. He is another Koenig that played second fiddle to a Kirk after all.

    Police Hopeful Andrew Koenig is still alive.

    Canadian Police issue release; Believe Koenig still in Vancouver Area.

    Lots of little tidbits since yesterday about all this. Andrew's ATM card and cell phone were used after his supposed disappearance on the 14th, and believe he is still in the Vancouver area.

    Again, it's not too hard to imagine Andrew going off on a walkabout like this. I sincerely hope that is the case.

    Just saw some extended coverage of this on CNN. Apparently, one of the commentators knew him years ago in some Vegan/Peta project. She had nothing but kinds words about Andrew and she talked about how worried the parents are. I hope some news comes soon; it's all rather worrying.

    David Koff, the producer of "Fake Radio," the improv comedy group Andrew and some of our mutual friends perform in, dedicated Sunday's show to Andrew.

    Fake Radio is an improv group that takes radio serial scripts from the '20s, '30s, '40s and '50s and has its cast perform them on stage -- straight through, commercials included, with the opportunity to improvise throughout. It's quite fun to watch/hear and is always hilarious. If you'd like to read/listen to the opening sketch, click here: http://fakeradio.net/koenig.htm

    ^^ That sounds like a great idea.

    Can't the Police get the records of who he called on his cell phone and talk to them?

    I hope he's fine. It turns my stomach whenever somebody's kidnapped, especially for something hideously immoral. I hope he's alright...

    The phone had no activity from the 14th until the 16th, when it received a text. They know who texted him, but it doesn't help.

    The phone has been shut off since.
