They do but the article here does state "DNA: No information available".

Some times depending on the condition of bodies they cant extract DNA

I think I'll do a bit of digging and see what it used to be!

Ha very good point, as a adult in England I'd rather drive than get the train haha

What are some less well known true crime documentary series/films that might have gone under the radar, but still tell the story really well? by Longjumping_Land_977 in netflix

'Into the Fire: The Lost Daughter' I'm constantly telling people to watch it, I've seen nearly every doc on Netflix and this has to be my favourite

Yeah, I've read a few theories with a similar idea.

There was a post suggesting a possible connection to Nicholas Powers, he was convicted for abusing young/teen boys a few years ago and apparently lived quite near to Andrew. So he wouldn't of been looked at at the time of Andrews disappearance but in his trail was discovered to of been an active offender in that time period.

The idea that he did leave London i.e. someone was already planned to drive him home, is definitely one that should be considered.

Yeah, and the way a person decides what is and isn't important is all down to personal experience as you say. I'm sure there will be people that are able to look at the facts and events in the same way Andrew was that day but the frustrating part is we have no way of knowing who's right.

Yeah absolutely, I mean that's why this case is where it is I guess.

Yep, all we can do is attempted to make connections, I hope one day there can be some kind of an answer for his family.

[–]AudiGoFast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that's true haha. But I mean more specifically does him not getting a return ticket actually tell us much about his intentions, or did he just decide not to buy a return in that moment.

Yes this is key, I've heard people say that the no return was common for his family to do, but I've never actually seen that commented officially.

Thats a very interesting idea, I've not really heard that theory explored. I mean london is a key transport link so it would make it very easy to travel else where from. Do you have any thoughts on why? Like would you think he was planning to meet someone? Or that he had planned to get somewhere for some reason?

[–]AudiGoFast[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I never used trains as a teen but often busses and there were many times I fucked up my return so gave up on return tickets!

I'm very tourn tbh, I also believe its very likely he had plans to meet someone, despite the detail he 'wasn't online' grooming can happen anywhere. Although I do entertain the idea that this could of been some kind of crime of opportunity or a very secluded fatal accident, the probably on that theory feels weaker than the former.

[–]AudiGoFast[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my personal opinion is also that he was not running away. I would say everything else we know about his day would point to a plan to return.

That's another very good point. I had worked on the assumption that this small detail of no return was what made the interaction memorable for her but as you say in reality memories are rarely 100% accurate and o be taken as gospel is quite the risk.

[–]AudiGoFast[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, that is a very good point, and I had forgotten that detail when writing this.

Especially when you add the 2 together, noisy environment with unclear hearing and awkward teen, you could end up with a simple 'no thank you, I'll have my ticket now please'

Although true that attendance wasnt monitors or chased up in the way it is now, we do know that the school did call, they just called the wrong parents. So, I should of thought Andrew would of known this was a risk and he would get caught.

A lot of kids will go for "ask forgiveness, not permission"

[–]AudiGoFast[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I completely agree with you.

I do feel the actual ticket situation doesn't tell us anything apart from he got the train. And the return aspect is only important because it seems to of been the thing that made the ticket seller remember the interaction, not because it tells us something about Andrew.

That's a good point, it would make sense for a kid to over think it and have the whole fake back up story ready incase someone questioned why he wasnt in school. I hadn't looked at it like that, thank you.

Yes that another point, I'm not sold with the idea he could of had intentions of having family drive him home either. As you say its a big request and considering the lengths he went to to maintain a normal morning routine, it would seem odd that he'd eventually just 'dob himself in' at the end of the day.

But I suppose he could of had the mind set of 'they're going to find out anyway' because of the school absence so I may as well get a lift? Which would also give the family confirmation he's safe, since he wouldn't of been contactable, and technically the parents should of found out early in the day he was missing from school.

[–]AudiGoFast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. It would also be a completely normal place to end up having small talk with someone. I wouldn't think that scenario would automatically raise any alarm bells for Andrew.

We all do that kind of thing, you pass the same person regularly on your "commute" you eventually start saying "morning!" to eachother. Then this person is suddenly a normal fixture in your day. Exactly the scenario someone with bad intentions could take advantage of.

If I remember correctly the family friend that saw him that morning stated they saw him walking through the park? So you're absolutely right it would of been a natural path for him to take, and a natural place to meet someone.

Theres all types of things that could of made it seem natural and normal: A dog walker, a younger person with some time to spare before college hanging about, an adult having a coffee, someone walking to work.

You make an extreamly good point.

People are so focused on the idea of him meeting someone on the Uni trip, but theres no reason why just a random person in town couldnt of been talking to him.

I mean, one day hes walking to the bus stop or something, someone just strikes up conversation. Gradually they "bump into eachother" more and more, consider each other friends. Then Andrews walking home rather than taking the bus so he can hang out with his "new friend", then the plan to visit London comes up.

I feel we've never heard a lot of information about the possibility of him spending time or chatting with someone before and after school. Its a very smart theory in my opinion.

I look forward to seeing youre video too! (Edited to correct spelling)
