Episode 57 Andrea Knabel
37 year-old single Mother of 2, and Missing Person advocate, Andrea
Michelle Knabel, vanished in her Lousville, Kentucky neighborhood
of Audubon Park in the early hours of August 13, 2019. She was last
seen walking away from her sister Erin's home just after 1:30 am
headed back toward her mom's home where she was living. That was
the last anyone saw of her. As police sorted through the details of
Andrea's recent life, it was discovered that she had been going
through a rough patch. She had recently lost her car in an
accident, and also was looking for work. As if that wasn't enough,
Andrea was very upset over a skin condition that cause her a great
deal of pain and embarrassment. According to Andrea's family, she
had been acting differently, and was staying up late into the night
and sleeping until afternoon. Her family's concern at times left
Andrea feeling ganged up on and at odds wit her family. When it was
learned that Andrea had been locked out of her Mom's home the night
she vanished, and had reportedly argued with family, it caused both
police and the public to look closely at Andrea's loved ones.
Cadaver dogs were brought into search, and the mostly crime-free
neighborhood was scoured looking for clues including security
surveillance, but nothing was found. Perhaps, the most valuable
clue was the activity and movements on Andrea's phone which has
only led to more questions than answers, and some people who may
have those answers are not cooperating. Andrea, who was willing to
help so many people via her work and time as a missing persons
advocate, remains missing herself. In this episode, Andrea's sister
Erin, who was the last person to see her older sister, discusses
the case, and her efforts to find Andrea.
When Andrea Knabel vanished, she was described as 5ft7, 190lbs, w/
Brown hair, and Blonde highlights, and having Hazel eyes. She was
last seen in the 4000 Block of Fincastle RD in Louisville, KY
wearing a light colored tank top and shorts. A reward is being
offered in the case.
