She Was Actively Involved In Finding Missing People And Then Two Years Ago She Disappeared While Out Walking Home One Night
Louisville, Kentucky. 37-year-old Andrea Michelle Knabel lived in Louisville along with her children, and in her free time, she was actively involved in finding missing people.
Andrea was part of the Facebook group called Missing In America, which she joined to help locate missing people after her own friend vanished.
Shockingly, on August 13th, 2019, Andrea went missing while out walking home one night, and she has not been seen since then.

On the night of August 12th, Andrea went to the nearby hospital to get an infection on her face looked at, and her sister’s fiancé drove her there.
At 11:22 that evening, Andrea used Lyft to go to her mom’s house from the hospital. She lived in her mom’s house located on Chickadee Road when she went missing.
At midnight, Andrea walked from her mom’s house to her sister’s home located on Fincastle Road. Andrea’s mom’s house was approximately a mile from her sister’s. Not long after Andrea arrived at her sister’s house, she left at 1:38 in the morning and started walking to her mom’s house.

As she was going back to her mom’s, Andrea placed multiple calls from 1:30 to 2 that morning to loved ones seeing if someone could pick her up and drive her.
At 1:54 in the morning, Andrea did get to her mom’s house. She ended up walking the whole way there since nobody was available to give her a ride.
Although Andrea did make it to her mom’s, she never entered the house, and this is the final location she was at before she vanished.
At 3:53, her phone was active and clearly at her mom’s house before shutting off.
Later on around 6:30 in the morning, her phone was still indicating it was at her mom’s house, though she was nowhere to be found, and her location could not be verified since her phone then went inactive.
Although authorities later looked through Andrea’s mom’s house in an effort to locate her phone, they never discovered it.

It’s now been 2 years since Andrea was last seen or heard from, and on the 2 year anniversary of her disappearance, her sister Erin and her dad walked between her last known locations.
“The amount of people who know and care about my sister, Andrea Michelle, missing directly affects the chances of her being found,” Erin wrote in a Facebook post on June 13th of this year.
“So I need this shared across the world. It causes police to continue working on her case and people call in leads more often. It also puts it in the face of whoever knows something and will encourage them to speak up.”
“Andrea had her own struggles at the time of her disappearance but through that, she still helped others.”

“And that is one of the many things I will always find beautiful about her. She was a volunteer who helped look for missing people. And she did anything for anyone around her including me.”
“So share this. Because she would have done it if it were you that was missing. Or do it because she was a great friend, sister, aunt, and mother. And everyone deserves to be found.”
If you have any information on Andrea’s disappearance, you can make an anonymous call to the tip line at 855-746-0846.
There is currently a $10,000 reward being offered for information that leads to Andrea.
