KeAndre has a thread in the info section but not in the discussion section.

http://www.wafb.com/story/20582373/search-continues-for-missing-man:

"Police are still looking for a 25-year-old man who was reported missing on Jan. 3 but has not been heard from by relatives since Dec. 29. The Baton Rouge Police Department said the possibility of foul play cannot be ruled out in the disappearance of Keandre Collins."

KeAndre is a black male, is 6ft tall and weighs 145lbs. He has a mole above his lip on the right side. He was sporting an Afro when he went missing.

The last article I posted above (from The Advocate) uses a mugshot of KeAndre as the picture accompaning the article.

The only thing I can come up with using Google & Bing as far as his arrest record is:

"Keandre Collins, 23, Baton Rouge, bench warrant for failure to appear for speeding and driving under suspension/revocation"
http://www.zacharytoday.com/view/full_story/10522931/article-BAKER-ARREST-REPORT-

His arrest was processed sometime between 11/19/12-11/24/12. He was arrested in Baker. Baker is a city in East Baton Rouge Parish & part of the Baton Rouge metro area (BR & EBR Parish have a city-parish government, or wha most of you outside of Louisiana would know as a consolidated city-consolidated government- http://brgov.com/aboutus.htm)

The BR area has high levels of crime- at times last year even surpassing NOLA as far as the murder rate. Many people would not expect that sleepy little BR actually has high crime rates (and one of the highest HIV/AIDS rates in the US- even higher than NO...something else I doubt most people would expect).

"As a point of comparison, Austin’s 2011 homicide rate was 3.4 per 100,000 people, according to the Austin Police Department. Baton Rouge’s homicide rate last year was 28 per 100,000 people." (http://theadvocate.com/home/2790021-125/high-crime-rate-bad-for).

You can also view BR's crime rate compared to the national average here: http://www.cityrating.com/crime-statistics/louisiana/baton-rouge.html#.USMF5RB5mSM

I hope that maybe KeAndre was trying to avoid an upcoming cort date or something again & just decided to go off the grid for a while. I hope he's not another victim of violent crime in BR.

I wish we knew WHERE in BR he was last seen getting into that SUV.

Tattoo description in the Advocate matches the young man's in one of these photos so pretty sure this is his facebook.

Crime Stoppers: Missing Mystery - What happened to Keandre Collins?

http://www.kplctv.com/story/30420159/missing-mystery-what-happened-to-keandre-collins

Let’s start this with a situation we should all be able to empathize with. Pick perhaps the one person in your life you love the most. Now, imagine that person gone, missing, vanished without a trace. What would you do? How would you go on day-to-day?

Heartbreak is sure to follow for days, weeks and yes, years. Now, imagine you’re getting very little help from your own community, as if those around you can’t empathize, may not even sympathize or just don’t want to get involved at all.

That’s where Haittia Collins finds herself right now as she tries to find information on her son.
