Family continues to raise awareness about Louisville woman's 2019 disappearance

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville family is marking yet another birthday for a mother of two who hasn't been seen since she disappeared in 2019.

Andrea Knabel's 42nd birthday is Jan. 7. It will be the fifth birthday that has come and gone since she went missing on Aug. 13, 2019. That's when the Louisville mother of two was last seen in the Audubon Park area.

Family and friends continue to raise awareness about her disappearance, and have planned several activities in honor of her birthday.

Saturday, loved ones plan to hand out missing persons flyers for volunteers to post. The flyers will be distributed starting at 2 p.m. at Pindell and Hess Lane, which is not far from where she was last seen. Family and friends will then attend a church service at 4 p.m., followed by a private dinner and birthday party.

Andrea's father, Mike Knabel, said he continues to receive tips including one that came in Jan. 3 from out of town. He said many calls have been received from people thinking they saw Andrea, but none have panned out. Even so, the family is holding out for some type of closure.

LMPD said Friday that it is "investigating any and all active leads surrounding this open/active missing person case."

If anyone has information about Andrea, they are asked to call the family's tip line at 502-806-4840 or Louisville Metro Police at 502-574-5673.

Before she went missing, Andrea was a volunteer for the Missing in America Network; Andrea's sister, Erin, has helped find several other people who went missing thanks to the help of several Facebook groups she runs, including:

Erin also maintains two Facebook pages dedicated to finding Andrea: Where is Andrea Knabel and Finding Andrea with Andrea Angels as a subgroup for volunteers to help find her.
