April Dawn Andrews was 15 when she left her Pea Ridge, Arkansas, apartment on the afternoon of November 18, 2006, to walk the short distance to Pea Ridge Church of the Nazarene for a clothing giveaway. She wore a brown sweater, a black halter top, light brown corduroy pants and multicolored sneakers and never returned; her mother reported her missing that evening.

A child witness later said they saw April talking with someone in an older model brown pickup truck. Some accounts say the witness believed April got into the truck, while others say it was unclear if she entered it. The case was classified early on by many agencies as a runaway amid reports she had been bullied and worried about being a financial burden, but family members, including a half sister, have expressed doubt that she ran away.

The investigation was later transferred to the Benton County Sheriff’s Office. There have been unconfirmed sightings in northwest Arkansas, and an anonymous tip prompted draining a pond in Little Flock with no result. If anyone saw April that afternoon or has information about the brown pickup truck or the older man who lived in her apartment complex, please come forward.
