Walter and Judith Koenig issued the statement today along with details of the search for their son Andrew released by the Vancouver police, E! News reports.
"I just want to know you're OK," Walter said to his son. "If it means you just want to stay here, that's OK. You don't have to come back. Just let us know that's your intention."
