Andrew Sukhram Missing Person Case

On October 28, 2021, 18-year-old Andrew David Sukhram, a senior at Leonardtown High School, disappeared after leaving the school to attend an internship in California, Maryland. He never arrived at his destination, and his car was later found abandoned on the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge, which connects Calvert and St. Mary's counties. Inside the vehicle were his personal belongings, which immediately raised concerns for his well-being. This discovery marked the beginning of a prolonged and painful period of uncertainty for his family, friends, and the entire Solomons, Maryland community. At the time of his disappearance, Andrew was described as being 5'8" tall and weighing 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt with a white circular logo, dark colored shorts, and Chuck Taylor style shoes, and may have also been wearing a black '22 Seniors' t-shirt.

The news of Andrew's disappearance quickly spread, causing a wave of shock and grief throughout the community. Witnesses reported seeing a person who matched Andrew's description jump from the bridge, which prompted an immediate and extensive search and rescue operation. Multiple agencies, including the Maryland State Police, the Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Coast Guard, were involved in the search efforts, which included both aerial and underwater searches. The principal of Leonardtown High School, Ms. J. Mills, addressed the student body, urging them to avoid spreading rumors and to support one another during this difficult time. In the days that followed, Andrew's family made a heartfelt plea to the public, asking anyone frequenting the shoreline, including fishermen and boaters, to be vigilant for any sign of him.

Despite the comprehensive search efforts, no trace of Andrew was ever found. His body was never recovered, and authorities have presumed him to be deceased. The community, however, has continued to keep his memory alive through vigils, fundraisers, and memorials. The unresolved nature of his disappearance has left a lasting impact on the Solomons community, highlighting the importance of mental health awareness and community support in the face of tragedy. The case of Andrew Sukhram remains a painful reminder of a young life lost, and the enduring hope for answers and closure for his loved ones persists.
