Walter Koenig's son is missing?

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Apparently Andrew Koenig (son of Walter) has been missing for several days, ever since February 14th. He was scheduled to board a flight from Vancouver on the 16th but he never got on the flight. Linky

So what's the deal?

 

[Kirk1980]

Wow.

I sincerely hope he's okay. I had no idea that guy from Growing Pains was Chekov's kid.

Just...wow.

Kinda reminds me of hearing when Shatner's wife died (although I hope nowhere near as severe). It's just strange to think of your heroes (which to me because of my time with them when I was a kid, they are) as having these kinds of things happen to them.

 

[Hober Mallow]

Wow.

I sincerely hope he's okay. I had no idea that guy from Growing Pains was Chekov's kid.

You mean Boner? I had totally forgotten this.

Here's hoping it's all a big misunderstanding.

My prayers and thoughts for his safe return and peace of mind for Walter's family.

No parent should ever have to go through something like this. All of our best thoughts go with the Keonigs. Hope it all turns out okay.

Anyone in Vancouver should also read this:

Anyone with knowledge of Koenig's whereabouts is being asked to contact Det. Raymond Payette of the Vancouver PD at 604-717-2534.

My prayers and thoughts for his safe return and peace of mind for Walter's family.

Yes. Absolutely.

 

[Kira's Mom]

I hope he turns up okay.

I hope this ends well.

Mr. Laser Beam's link has been updated on 2/21 with some more info provided from Walter Koenig's site. Let's just hope Andrew turns up ok.

I didn't realize that he'd sold all his possessions in LA before heading to Vancouver, and about the depression. Okay, NOW I am worried.

Same here. Depression is nothing to sneeze at.

It has not been determined that he sold ALL his possessions, only SOME.

While that's being nitpicky, in this context I think it's important to keep in mind the difference between the two, as well as the lack of verifiable information regarding that particular tidbit of information.

Lots of people don't realize depression is a disease, and although it can be medically treated, it can be life-threatening if it's not.

I hope he's just holed up somewhere.

I certainly hope he is alright, Andrew was in our film Inalienable (as was Walter also). My prays are with Walter and Judy. Being a father of 3 myself, I can not even begin discribe how this must feel for them.

If any one living in the Vancouver area has seen him after the 14th please contact Detective Raymond Payette of the Vancouver PD at 604-717-2534.

 

[Captain Pike]

I hope he turns up ok, and I'm sure everyone at TrekBBS shares those same sentiments..

 

[maneth]

Oh yes indeed, I hope he turns up safe, the sooner the better. I can't even imagine how terrible this must be for the Koenigs.
