The Andrew Koenig Mystery Deepens
As we reported earlier this week, Andrew Koenig (son of Walter Koenig) has been missing for nearly two weeks. He was last seen at a bakery in Vancouver's Stanley Park neighborhood Feb 14, but may have left warning signs when he returned personal items to his friend and colleague filmmaker Lance Micci on February 2nd.
"I asked him to work on a couple gigs last time we spoke (Feb. 4), and he just refused. It was unusual. He was kind of fed up with the Hollywood business," Miccio said.
"He was a really talented guy, but he may have just said enough is enough and gone off into the wild. He was a nature boy. I keep hoping for a happy ending," he said.
According to NYdailynews.com, Miccio said he found the items from Koenig hanging on his doorknob when he returned from a trip Feb. 2. The bag included footage from their projects together and a sci-fi novel Miccio had given Koenig as a gift - "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Phillip K. Dick.
The Vancouver Police Missing Persons Unit said Monday it was following up on a "substantial" number of tips - and at least one official said he believes Andrew Koenig is okay.
"Electronic information leads us to believe that Andrew is still in the Vancouver area," Constable Tim Fanning told RadarOnline.com. "We think Andrew is just lying low."
Miccio said that Koenig "left his apartment in Venice, and maybe he just wanted to return everything and start over.
"He lived in Vancouver before and talked about moving back. But I think he would tell his parents. I'm at a loss," Miccio said.
"He has a lot to live for," Miccio added. "He was doing vital stuff and is loved by a lot of people."
