Andy Cohen host of the TV Show “The Watch What Happens Live!” asks the public to help find his missing friend Andrew Neiman.
“Andy is younger than me, but we went to the same camp–Nebagamon in Wisconsin–and the same high school,” Cohen told E! News on Thursday, June 3. “I’m praying for his safe return, along with a lot of folks in St Louis.”
Almost $40,000 has been raised in a campaign on the go fund me page for Andrew Neiman who is gone missing for over 2 weeks. The funds are being used to pay for private investigators to help find Andrew.
Andrew suffers from mental illness, and he has been missing from the hospital he was at in Poughkeepsie NY.
According to an update shared to the fundraiser on May 27, a private investigator was hired to help lead the search.
Here is the first post on the GoFundMe page for Andrew Neiman:
“Our dear sibling and friend, Andrew (“Andy”) Neiman went missing on Friday, May 21 from the Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital in Poughkeepsie, NY. Andy has a history of mental illness and may be suffering from psychosis. While we believe Andy is still in the local area, family, friends, search parties and police have been looking for 4 days and have not yet located him.
We are asking for help to expand our search. We are raising funds to hire a private investigator who specializes in missing persons and can organize additional search activities. Any excess funds will be used for mental health treatment.”
We are grateful for your contribution for our sweet brother, son, friend, and father.
Sincerely,
Andy’s Family and Friends
The latest update was reported on May 27th 20201: $39,280 raised of $40,000 goal
“We have hired a private investigator who has been continuously chasing leads, interviewing people who may have seen Andy, reviewing video footage, and generally providing strategy on the ground in the area of Andy’s disappearance and surrounding communities. Unfortunately, leads to date have not materialized locating Andy. While we are disappointed, we remain undeterred. We have increased our GoFundMe goal in this critical time to find Andy and are redoubling efforts to hire additional private investigators, fly drones, advertise, pound the pavement, and search the woods, parks, and waters where Andy may be.”
