HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Former Growing Pains star Andrew Koenig, who played Boner on the hit '80s television series, has been reported missing.
Koenig, 41, was last seen at a bakery in Vancouver, Canada on Feb. 14, according to a message posted on his father's Web site. His cell phone last received a text message on Feb. 16, the same day he failed to board a return flight to the U.S.
"He went up to [Vancouver] to visit friends who last saw him on the 14th," Danielle Koenig, his sister, told Zap2it.com. "Any information we can get on his whereabouts would be helpful."
