What we know about Andreas…

  • He is a graduate of Middlesex University Hendon Campus, graduating in 2003. During his time at University he worked as a concierge at Westway Housing, London and lived for a time at a property on Watford Way, Hendon, NW4 near to the Police Training College.

  • After graduation he visited his father In Cyprus, travelling from London to Limassol and then on to visit a friend, in Munich, Germany

  • Intriguingly he left a suitcase with his friend which contained various items including three books, two of which show an interest in music: The Complete Guide to the Music of John Lennon and The Complete Guide to the Music of Bob Marley which he said he would return to collect before travelling back to London.

  • Andreas never collected the suitcase or returned to London, although he had enrolled for a second degree and planned to resume his studies.

Do you know Sarah or Sara?

At university Andreas had a girlfriend known as Sarah or Sara and they lived together at an address in Hendon, North London. 

We believe that Sara(h), of Indonesian origin, may hold the key to his movements after graduation and his visit to Cyprus, but we have so far been unable to trace her. 

Photos below show Sara(h). Do you recognise her?

Andreas’ sister Tola, who lives in the USA, describes Andreas as a planner by nature with big dreams for the future, she described him as assertive and goal oriented and how all they talked about was the future and his plans after his college graduation. 

Tola describes his disappearance as totally out of character, with no obvious underlying personal reasons.

We love him very much and our lives collectively haven’t been the same. We would love for him to come home or reach out to us. Our parents are getting older and all our family is waiting to hear from him.
