Growing Pains Actor Andrew Koenig Missing in Canada

The actor who played the role of Richard ‘Boner’ Stabone in the 1980s television series Growing Pains has been reported missing in Vancouver, Canada. Andrew Koenig, 41, was last seen on Valentine’s by his friends, according to police.

Koenig lives in California and was visiting friends in South Vancouver. During his time there, he stayed with Jenny Magenta, a burlesque dancer, who expressed her worry about his safety on Facebook. It’s been revealed by his parents, Walter and Judy, that the last they talked to their son was on February 9. They have learned that his cell phone was last used to receive a text message on February 16, but has since been turned off.

The actor had planned to return home last Tuesday (February 16), but the authorities were notified last Thursday (February 18) when he didn’t return. Koenig’s family says that he had been acting gloomy and severely depressed, and they were worried about if he was okay. Lance Miccio, a producer-director, says that he had passed on a job two weeks ago, because he wasn’t going to work anymore. His last work was on InAlienable in 2008, a science fiction film.

Police are asking that anyone who has information about or has seen Koenig to call 911. He use to live in Vancouver, and authorities noted that he enjoyed walking in Stanley Park and was last seen at a bakery there. Koenig is 5 foot 5 inch tall, weighing about 135 pounds. He has brown eyes and brown shoulder-length hair. His sister, Danielle, said that any information they can get about where he is will be helpful.
