Andrew Chapman, known as Andy, was 32 and living in the Hilltop area of Columbus, Ohio, when he disappeared in December 2006. He was struggling with drug addiction, separated from his wife, and in regular contact with his mother and grandmother. Days before he vanished he faced a felony drug possession charge and a warrant after missing a court date; he and his roommates were also under threat of foreclosure at the house on Whitethorne Avenue.

On or around December 8, 2006, Andy made a frantic call to his mother or grandmother saying he needed to see them. She was ill and could not go right away; when she visited a few days later the house was empty and a neighbor said the occupants had moved out. Andrew’s personal belongings and a recently purchased car were left behind. About $37,000 had been withdrawn from his retirement account before he disappeared; part of that money bought the car, and the car title was later transferred to a relative of a former roommate.

The family reported him missing in January 2007. The case was closed in 2008 with the belief he fled to avoid legal trouble, then reopened in 2013 after years without contact. No confirmed contact has been reported since his disappearance. If anyone knew Andrew, his routines, or saw him or the Whitethorne Avenue house in December 2006, please share what you remember.
