Episode 57 Andrea Knabel

37 year-old single Mother of 2, and Missing Person advocate, Andrea Michelle Knabel, vanished in her Lousville, Kentucky neighborhood of Audubon Park in the early hours of August 13, 2019. She was last seen walking away from her sister Erin's home just after 1:30 am headed back toward her mom's home where she was living. That was the last anyone saw of her. As police sorted through the details of Andrea's recent life, it was discovered that she had been going through a rough patch. She had recently lost her car in an accident, and also was looking for work. As if that wasn't enough, Andrea was very upset over a skin condition that cause her a great deal of pain and embarrassment. According to Andrea's family, she had been acting differently, and was staying up late into the night and sleeping until afternoon. Her family's concern at times left Andrea feeling ganged up on and at odds wit her family. When it was learned that Andrea had been locked out of her Mom's home the night she vanished, and had reportedly argued with family, it caused both police and the public to look closely at Andrea's loved ones. Cadaver dogs were brought into search, and the mostly crime-free neighborhood was scoured looking for clues including security surveillance, but nothing was found. Perhaps, the most valuable clue was the activity and movements on Andrea's phone which has only led to more questions than answers, and some people who may have those answers are not cooperating. Andrea, who was willing to help so many people via her work and time as a missing persons advocate, remains missing herself. In this episode, Andrea's sister Erin, who was the last person to see her older sister, discusses the case, and her efforts to find Andrea.

When Andrea Knabel vanished, she was described as 5ft7, 190lbs, w/ Brown hair, and Blonde highlights, and having Hazel eyes. She was last seen in the 4000 Block of Fincastle RD in Louisville, KY wearing a light colored tank top and shorts. A reward is being offered in the case.

Andrea Knabel is a mother of two who mysteriously vanished in August 2019 from Louisville, Kentucky. You may have heard about Andrea’s case as there was a documentary released about her disappearance. The documentary is called Finding Andrea on Discovery Plus.
For this story, I spoke to Erin Knabel, who is Andrea’s sister. She was the last person known to have seen her sister.


August 13, 2019 is the official date of Andrea’s disappearance. After Andrea got locked out of her mother’s house, she walked to her sister Erin’s home. Andrea was staying with her mother at the time. The sisters lived within walking distance. After Andrea arrived at her sister’s home she was agitated about not being able to get into her mother’s house. Andrea then left her sister's home and began to walk home.


Erin watched her sister walk away from her house and that was the last anyone has seen of Andrea. Erin believes it’s highly possible that one of Andrea’s shady friends may know something about her disappearance.


Erin said her sister was reliable, kind, loving and an amazing big sister. Erin and her family have worked with law enforcement and brought in a private eye to help find Andrea. Although Erin wasn’t completely satisfied with the documentary about her sister, she said she still hopes it will bring attention to her sister’s case and reach someone who can provide an answer to what happened to Andrea.


What happened to Andrea Knabel? Did she walk away from her life or did someone harm her? If you know anything about Andrea’s whereabouts, I ask that you reach out to the family’s PI or law enforcement and provide a tip. If you would like to provide a tip, please contact PI Tracy Leonard at (502) 618-9337 or the Louisville Police Department at (502) 574-7120.
