Former Growing Pains actor Andrew Koenig has been missing since February 14, and now his parents are asking the public for help in finding their troubled son who was last seen in Canada.
"We still have not heard from Andrew," Judy Koenig tells RadarOnline.com, trying to remain stoic and strong. She also said that she and her husband, former Star Trek star Walter Koenig who played Chekov in the original series, are "satisfied" with the search being conducted by police.
"We began an active investigation on February 18," Constable Tim Fanning of the Vancouver Police Department told RadarOnline.com. "It is an ongoing investigation."
Andrew is "in a depressed state," his father told Entertainment Tonight. Walter said he and his wife Judy had last heard from Andrew, 42, in early February when he was visiting friends in Toronto. He then went to Vancouver where he was last seen February 14. He didn't show up for his February 16 flight back to L.A.
