Andre has been found, so we’ve removed his photo.
Earlier:
Family and friends are asking for help finding Andre, who is 13 years old, 5’2″ tall, last seen wearing black sweatshirt, black jeans, and black Vans, getting off a bus Sunday night at Delridge and Juneau. Police report number is 24-172642. If you see him, call 911 or message 206-825-3300.
A city bus, I assume, since it was Sunday night. I just want to point out that Delridge and Juneau has no bus stop. The stop would be at Findlay or further south of the STEM school. We will keep an eye out for this kid.
Do the Metro busses have security cameras? If they do, and someone has an idea of when he was on the bus, maybe they can find the person who followed him off the bus. If someone can ID the other guy, maybe that would lead to more clues. I hope he is found and is ok.
My husband shared a related item- He was on an east bound C Rapid Ride Wednesday late morning when the bus just stopped just after getting up onto the West Seattle Bridge on-ramp (where the various lanes merge). He was surprised to see the bus driver open the door and a woman gets on the bus (her car was parked in the bridge merge). She goes to the back of the bus and questions 3 teen boys about where they last saw her missing son. She had seen the boys board the bus and wanted to talk to them! Eventually she leaves the bus which continued into downtown. The boys reportedly laughed about her tracking them down. I’m glad that her son has been found.
The guys she talked to knew where her son was but wouldn’t tell her. He eventually came home on his own. Its very upsetting for a parent to have a child go missing and then to have to single-handedly pass out flyers and be lied too from other kids. You lose sleep and can’t eat.
I’m so relieved! This has been on my mind. What a traumatic experience for mom.
