He has never been seen or heard from again.

Ande is originally from China but had been living in New Haven since 1998. He regularly kept in touch with his mother, who was still living in China at the time of his disappearance. Ande also regularly kept in touch with his sister, who lived in San Francisco, California. Ande's sister reportedly spoke on the phone with him just a few days before his disappearance - and nothing seemed unusual during the call.
After Ande was reported missing, it was discovered that he left behind many of his personal items, including his passport, cash, keys, ATM card, and his other form of identification. Although he had expressed desire to return to China prior to his disappearance, there is no evidence to suggest he traveled there; especially as his passport was left behind.
Ande was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was receiving services from both his living facility, the Bella Vista, and the Continuum of Care of New Haven. Staff at Bella Vista did not notice anything unusual about Ande's behavior prior to his disappearance. There is no evidence to suggest he harmed himself.
An employee from Bella Vista noted that she last saw Ande at the facility, accompanied by a man she did not recognize. She later told reporters, "I said ‘Hi,’ and that was the last time I saw him. I’m not sure if it was the same day he disappeared. He could have come home and then gone out again.” The man Ande was with has never been identified.
Ande remains missing today. The New Haven Department of Police has jurisdiction over his case. If you have any information that could help solve Ande's disappearance, please contact authorities at 203-946-6316.
