Another missing person from Springfield...

Oh my Lord, not another one from Springfield. We have another one still missing, another former Springfield guy found deceased in or on a lake. This is getting too much. Prayers Andrew is found safe and sound soon!

And they reported him missing 4 days later? I wonder if he's been known to leave for days at a time?

Holy smokes - he went to highschool with Achim Bailey (also missing) and they are friends on FB. Coincidence?

Oh wow!

 

[YaYa_521]

Yeah, this is not sounding good. Come on , LE, let's make the connection quickly.

Get home, guys!

There's hardly any coverage on this story. It always makes me wonder when I don't see press coverage with quotes from worried family members especially after almost a week.

So what are the theories on the connection, if any, between the two friends' disappearances? As noted by OP, there is less information given about Andrew and seemingly less urgency by his family in regard to his disappearance. Why would that be? Could it be Andrew is concerned for his safety as a result of Achim's disappearance, so went "off radar?" Could he be avoiding questioning by LE for any number of reasons? Or, coincidentally, could he, too, be the victim of foul play or an accident, as is suspected in the case of Achim's disappearance? MOO.

Rsbm
Could be any of those things - I could speculate but that’s all it would be. Hopefully LE is looking for connections. I think Andrew disappeared a few days after Achim’s phone was found and I’m wondering if there’s any significance to that timing.

A lot more info here about Andrew...

James Villalobos

"His mom tells me that like anyone else, he has his demons and his issues, and the day before he went missing he tried getting help. On Monday, he was scheduled to work Noon to 7 p.m. at his job at the Panera in East Longmeadow...but asked to leave early at 4:00 because he was not feeling well. That was the last time he was seen or heard from. He does not have his cell phone on him.

She says that he has gone missing before, but never for this long. She's desperately asking for the public's help because he needs to take medication.

At the end of the conversation she told me, "My son has a chemical imbalance, but I love him just as much."

I hate to hear this - that's rough. Maybe the cases are unrelated. I hope he's somewhere getting help.

Springfield Police address social media rumors surrounding missing person cases

Police departments across the country use social media as a way to connect with people in the area who might have information about a case.

It’s a tool they rely on, but the flip side of social media is that it can spread lies and can quickly cause panic among thousands of people.

Achim Bailey and Andrew Pearson II are both young men from Springfield that have been reported missing recently.

Since then, rumors on social media have been connecting their cases and according to police, that's far from the truth.

"These two cases are absolutely 100 percent not connected," said Ryan Walsh, Spokesperson for the Springfield Police Department.

Forest Park looks to be 735 acres - I hope they have a lot of people looking.....or maybe a search dog.

Bumping for Andrew and his Mother.

I haven’t looked at a map of where he worked. Was it close to the water at all? A short walk, even? Water always freaks me out. I know nothing about that area. My vision impairment makes searching maps almost impossible. Ugh!

I've linked below a few pics of three maps from the Forest Park area in Springfield, MA. I'm hoping this all works and that the maps are large enough for you to adjust to your vision needs. Let me know if you can see them. If not, I have another idea.

The dark blue map is a neat pic of the crime rates in the area. It's quite interesting.

Hoping and praying that this young man is found safe and soon.

My heart is with his family during this terribly worrying time.
