(WHAS11) – WHAS11 is learning more about the missing Sullivan University student.
18-year-old Andrew Compton’s parents say he would meet people on the Internet and think this could have played a role in his disappearance.
Compton was last seen near Lucia Street off Bardstown Road in the highlands last Thursday.
“That he's dead, that's my first instinct because he's never done anything like this before,” Angela Compton, the victim’s mother, said.
John and Angela Compton say all the clues into their son Andrew’s disappearance are troubling.
The 18-years-old's dorm room at Sullivan University is un-touched, his bank account un-touched, his cell phone is dead and going straight to voice-mail.
According to his cell phone records the last call he made was last Thursday to his mom right before he vanished.
“He's never been gone more than two or three hours at a time,” Angela Compton said.
Andrew Compton's family lives in Carmel, Ind. But now they're staying in a hotel room in Louisville while they search for Andrew, but they aren't only searching the streets.
They got into Andrews e-mail accounts where they got access to a dating Web site Andrew used. On his e-mail accounts they found Andrew hat talked to a man two days before he disappeared.
In the email accounts they found this:
The man says, “Ok ill pick you up Thursday at 9 p.m.”.
Andrew says, “Cool, thanks.”
The man replies “See ya then.”
“On surveillance video Andrew is seen leaving the dorm at 9 p.m.,” Angela Compton said, “A few seconds later a white car drives out that came to pick him up.”
The Comptons turned all of this over to LMPD including the name and number of the man who Andrew chatted with. Police say they went to question the man but he has not been charged.
The Comptons worry their son is being kept against his will and being harmed.
