Growing Pains actor goes missing in Vancouver

Actor Andrew Koenig, 41, who played Richard “Boner” Stabone on Growing Pains, has gone missing in Vancouver. His father is Walter Koenig, who played Chekov in the original Star Trek. He says he received a letter from his son that was postmarked February 15. His mother, Judy, said, “We last spoke to him on Feb. 8 or 9th. I had some surgery and he phoned from Toronto to see how I was doing, but he sounded a little distant.” Walter added, “He was not in a good frame of mind when he called us. He was depressed.” Vancouver police say the last activity on his cellphone was on Feb. 16 from the Stanley Park area, which was apparently a special place for the actor, who lived in Vancouver from 1989 to 1992. Vancouver Police Constable Tim Fanning told the Vancouver Sun, “It’s an active missing persons investigation right now.” Walter has posted the following on his official site: “Andrew Koenig was last seen on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2010, in Vancover, British Columbia. Andrew Koenig never boarded his flight back to the US, on 2/16 and he hasn’t been heard from since. Andrew was last seen at a bakery in the Stanley Park area of Vancouver. If you’ve seen Andrew since February 14th, PLEASE contact Detective Raymond Payette of the Vancouver PD at 604-717-2534.”
