Frigid temps worry runaway's mother

January 24, 2008|VICKI STEVENS

A missing person report has been filed after a Danville teen disappeared Wednesday after being dropped off at school.

Andrew Reed, 15, a freshman at Danville High School, was dropped off at the school Wednesday morning but was missing in the afternoon when his mother went to pick him up. Nearly a week later, his parents still have not heard from him.

Cathy and Eric Reed learned that their son apparently hid a duffel bag of clothes outside their house on Alta Avenue and had someone pick it up the day he disappeared.

Cathy Reed said her son was upset with her the day he disappeared because she would not let him ride a skateboard to school when the temperature was 19 degrees.

Andrew has failed to return home a time or two in the past but usually was missing just overnight or so, never this long.

The Reeds are concerned that the frigid weather could threaten his safety. "That's what terrifies me," said Cathy Reed.

Missing person reports have been filed with Danville Police Department and Lincoln County Sheriff's Department. In addition, fliers are being printed up for circulation, and a $100 reward is being offered for his return. Anyone with information may contact either of the police agencies.

Andrew is 6 feet tall, weighs about 140-145 pounds, and has blue eyes and brown hair. He was wearing a brown Carhart jacket with hood, blue jeans and black and white tennis shoes. The duffel bag is green and the type used by the Marines. His mother said his hair is slightly longer now than it was in the photo.

Andrew has relatives in Lincoln County and attends Grace Fellowship Church.
