Missing 'Growing Pains' star Andrew Koenig gave warning signs, says friend

Andrew Koenig, who is best known for playing Boner in 'Growing Pains,' went missing Feb. 14 in Vancouver.

Missing "Growing Pains" star Andrew Koenig may have given ominous warning signs before vanishing in Canada last week, a haunted friend said Monday.

Brooklyn-born filmmaker Lance Miccio said Koenig returned a book and other personal items to his doorstep and turned down two new editing jobs before leaving to visit friends in Vancouver.

"I asked him to work on a couple gigs last time we spoke (Feb. 4), and he just refused. It was unusual. He was kind of fed up with the Hollywood business," Miccio said.

"He was a really talented guy, but he may have just said enough is enough and gone off into the wild. He was a nature boy. I keep hoping for a happy ending," he said.

Miccio said he found the items from Koenig hanging on his doorknob when he returned from a trip Feb. 2. The bag included footage from their projects together and a sci-fi novel Miccio had given Koenig as a gift - "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Phillip K. Dick.

Koenig, 41, was last seen at a bakery in Vancouver's Stanley Park neighborhood Feb 14. Best known for playing Kirk Cameron's sidekick Richard "Boner" Stabone on the hit 1980s sitcom "Growing Pains," he never boarded his flight back to the U.S. two days later.

His dad Walter Koenig, the actor who played Pavel Chekov on "Star Trek," said Andrew suffered from depression and sent a "despondent" letter that arrived Feb. 16.

The last time Andrew Koenig called his parents was Feb. 9, they said. His cell phone last received a text Feb. 16 and is now turned off, according to Walter Koenig's website.

The Vancouver Police Missing Persons Unit said Monday it was following up on a "substantial" number of tips - and at least one official said he believes Andrew Koenig is okay.

"Electronic information leads us to believe that Andrew is still in the Vancouver area," Constable Tim Fanning told RadarOnline.com. "We think Andrew is just lying low."

Miccio said that Koenig "left his apartment in Venice, and maybe he just wanted to return everything and start over.

"He lived in Vancouver before and talked about moving back. But I think he would tell his parents. I'm at a loss," Miccio said.

"He has a lot to live for," Miccio added. "He was doing vital stuff and is loved by a lot of people."

Cameron, who played Mike Seaver on Growing Pains, told Life & Style magazine he was praying for Koenig's safe return.

"Andrew, if you're reading this, please call me," Cameron said."Mike and Boner could always work things out when they put their minds to it. I'm praying for you, pal. Hope to hear from you soon."

Until this news broke I had no idea that Boner was Chekov's son. I'm not sure how that one slipped past me.

**Easy 6** · 02-24-2010, 09:59 PM

Yes, what a tragedy for that family.

Now that i've said that, i really feel a good 'well who gives a hot damn!' coming on about this guy... arent there a million & one Amber Alert kids out there? dont they maybe deserve 24/7 media coverage until they're found? Not some burnout nobody that got swallowed up by the high life?

Not railing at you SO, but the coverage of this guy has been bugging me for a while now.

It's pretty easy to find the humor, double entendres, irony, etc., in the situation that presents itself. The reality is that somebody's kid is missing, and may be suicidal. My heart goes out to the Koenig family, and I hope Andrew is found safe and sound.

After all, Andrew is a D&D'er, and I love a good game.

It's a sad situation. Maybe he'll turn up, though. Maybe he's just shacked up with a hot Latvian skater or something. I hope.

I'd be suicidal to if everyone would always know me as Boner.

Shoot. I'd think that would be an awesome nickname. I can just imagine girls walking up to you at parties ...

"Is your name really Boner?" ... "Yep." ... "How did you get that name?" ... "A girl gave it to me after glancing at my enormous manhood." ... "Really? That's interesting? Can I glance at your enormous manhood, too?" ... "Naw. I'm busy drinking this beer." ... "Please? Oh, please?" ... "Okay. But just once. And, I can only show you in private." ... "Okay. How about my place?" ... "Alright. Just let me finish my beer. Here, take my keys and bring my car around."
