Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP76241) and 4 other sources
In the autumn of 2020, a 28-year-old man named Andrew Thomas Graden vanished from the bustling streets of New York City. He was last seen on Friday, November 13th, in the area of West 95th Street in Manhattan. Andrew, who is also known by the nicknames Dre or Drew, is of mixed Asian and White/Caucasian descent. At the time of his disappearance, he stood between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed somewhere between 120 and 135 pounds. He has brown hair, which was bleached blonde on top, and hazel eyes. His appearance is distinguished by several tattoos, including Asian characters under and next to his left eye, a small star under his right eye, and additional tattoos on his forearms and calves.

The circumstances surrounding Andrew's disappearance are unsettling, as he reportedly left all of his personal belongings behind at his last known residence. When he was last seen, he was wearing a red scarf, either a black or red baseball cap, black pants, and was carrying a purple backpack with a plaid design. The New York City Police Department's 24th Precinct is handling the investigation into his disappearance, which is documented under the NamUs case number MP76241. His case was officially created on December 8, 2020.

Since he was last seen, there has been a concerning lack of information regarding his whereabouts. The search for Andrew has been ongoing, but as of now, no significant leads have been publicly reported to provide any clear indication of what may have happened to him. The investigation remains active, with law enforcement and his loved ones hoping for any information that could lead to answers. The case of Andrew Graden is a poignant reminder of the many individuals who go missing, leaving behind a void of uncertainty and a community searching for resolution.
