Andrea Michelle Knabel, a mother from Louisville, Kentucky, who dedicated her time volunteering for an organization that searches for missing people, has vanished. The 37-year-old was last seen around 1 a.m. on August 13, 2019, walking in the area of the 4000 block of Fincastle Road near her home in Louisville’s Audubon Park. Andrea had been volunteering for the group “Missing in America,” an organization unaffiliated with Dateline’s digital series, which has a mission to locate missing adults and children. Louisville Metro Police said Andrea made some phone calls asking for a ride between 1:30 a.m. and 2 a.m., in the area where she was last seen. Her cell phone has not been active since then. The organization said Andrea is the first member of their group to have gone missing. Andrea is described as 5’ 7” tall, approximately 190 pounds, with light brown hair.
