Fears for Growing Pains actor Andrew Koenig are increasing after his parents abruptly left the Larry King Live studio last night, just minutes before they were set to appear.
"For some reason unbeknownst to anyone, Walter Koenig, the father of the missing Andrew Koenig, and Andrew's mother Judy Levin-Koenig...left the studio in Vancouver," Larry King said on the air, reports E! Online.
"We checked them out, they were prepared to go on, I said 'hello,' they said 'hello.' We said we'd be on in two minutes, they said 'fine.' And they got up and left, for reasons unknown."
Family and friends are hoping their departure wasn't prompted by bad news.
