Instead, he withdrew £200 from his bank account, returned home, changed clothes and travelled alone to London King’s Cross. At 11:25am, CCTV captured Andrew leaving the station. It is the last confirmed sighting of him. Nearly two decades later, one of Britain’s most baffling missing-person cases remains unsolved. Why did Andrew travel to London? Was he planning a simple day trip? Did he intend to meet someone? Or did something happen after he arrived in one of the busiest cities in Europe? In this episode of What They Hide, we examine the known facts of Andrew’s disappearance, the investigation that followed, the reported sightings, the controversial missed opportunities and the theories that continue to divide opinion today. This is not a story about what we know. It’s a story about what we don’t. And about a family that has spent years searching for answers.   ⚠️ Content Warning This episode discusses the disappearance of a child and themes that some listeners may find distressing.   📱 Follow the Podcast Search “What They Hide: Hidden Crimes in Plain Sight” on your favourite social platform. 📧 Case suggestions and listener messages welcome. ⭐ If you enjoy the show, please consider following, rating and reviewing the podcast.
