That Sarah Knabel and Ethan Bates, them two, I tell ya, something ain’t right. Sarah, she’s Andrea’s sister, you know. And that Ethan, he’s her boyfriend, or was, or somethin’. They was all livin’ together over at the mama’s house, way back when. This was before poor Andrea went missin’.
Back in, lemme think, 2019, that’s right, August 2019. Hotter than a two-dollar pistol that summer. Sarah Knabel and Ethan Bates, they was always around, like two peas in a pod. Always whisperin’ and carryin’ on. Then, Andrea, she just up and vanished. Poof! Gone!
They say Andrea was last seen near a family member’s home in Audubon Park. Now, I ain’t sayin’ nothin’ for sure, but that’s mighty strange, ain’t it? She was with that Ethan, her sister’s man, Ethan Bates, at a McDonald’s, on Poplar Level Road. That was on August 12th. Then, nothin’. Just like that, she disappeared.
- Andrea went missin’.
- Sarah and Ethan, they was there.
- They were the last ones to see her.
- It was in August, hot as blazes.
- They said she went to a family member’s.
Now, that Ethan, he drove Sarah to the hospital that night, the night before Andrea went missin’. Why? They ain’t sayin’. Said it was late, August 12th. Sarah Knabel, she was there too, of course. They were stayin’ at the Chickadee Road home, same as Andrea. Seems like everybody was livin’ in that house.
Some folks say there’s somethin’ fishy about the whole thing. That retired police detective, what’s his name… Joe, Joe Fanciulli, yeah, that’s him. He’s been a detective for a long time, seen a lot of things. Even he thinks somethin’ ain’t right about Sarah Knabel and Ethan Bates. He knows a thing or two about these things, that Joe.
They got them flyers up, still, all over Audubon Park. Picture of Andrea. Breaks my heart, it does. They say the case is cold, but her family, they still got hope. They think she might still be out there, somewhere. Maybe someone saw her. Poor things. That Mike, he says they’re ready for a breakthrough. Hope they get one, for Andrea’s sake.
It’s been years now. Years since Andrea disappeared. And still, nobody knows nothin’. But I’ll tell ya, that Sarah Knabel and Ethan Bates, they know somethin’. They gotta. They were the last ones to see her. I just know it in my bones. Something ain’t right about them two.
This whole thing got on one of them TV shows, even. Discovery+, I think it was. Called “Finding Andrea.” They talked all about it, about Andrea, and about Sarah Knabel and Ethan Bates. Didn’t solve nothin’, though. Still no Andrea.
Folks been lookin’ for her, you know. Police, family, them other groups that look for missin’ people. Nobody’s givin’ up. But it’s like she just vanished into thin air. And them two, Sarah Knabel and Ethan Bates, they just carry on like nothin’ happened.
That Ethan, he’s got a construction company, they say. In Lexington. Dark hair, they say. He was supposed to marry Sarah, I heard. Don’t know if they ever did. But somethin’ about him, I don’t trust him. And Sarah, well, she’s Andrea’s sister. You’d think she’d be more upset, wouldn’t ya?
I just hope they find that poor girl, Andrea. It ain’t right, what happened to her. And I hope them two, Sarah Knabel and Ethan Bates, I hope they finally tell the truth. Somethin’ tells me they know more than they’re lettin’ on. A whole lot more. It’s a shame, a real shame.
You know, back in my day, folks didn’t just disappear like that. We looked out for each other. Nowadays, nobody knows nothin’. It’s a different world, I tell ya. But I still remember that girl, Andrea. And I remember Sarah Knabel and Ethan Bates. I won’t forget them, not ever. Not until they find out what really happened to that poor girl.
This whole thing, it just sticks in my craw. Makes me sick to my stomach. Poor Andrea. And her family, waitin’ and hopin’. It ain’t right. It just ain’t right. That’s all I gotta say about that. Sarah Knabel and Ethan Bates, they know. They know somethin’. Mark my words, they do.
