"It's an extended torture:" Dad of missing Doncaster teen Andrew Gosden reveals ongoing hell

Andrew Gosden was 14 when he vanished in September 2007 – with no news on his whereabout since then, despite a massive police investigation and constant searching by his family.

Now Andrew’s dad Kevin has spoken about the case for a new podcast and revaled that Andrew’s disappearance is an ‘extended torture.’

Speaking to The Missing podcast, he said: “You get up every day forever and forever and wondering about his existence. It’s an extended torture.”

Hosted by writer, journalist and broadcaster Pandora Sykes, the programme looks to re-engage public interest in the cases of the long-term missing and encourage those with information to come forward.

Andrew went missing on 17 September 2007.

After skipping school and withdrawing £200 in cash, he travelled to London on a one-way ticket.

Andrew was last sighted on CCTV exiting King’s Cross Station, but no concrete leads as to his intended destination or subsequent whereabouts have since emerged.

His family have never given up hope of finding him and 13 years on from his disappearance, continue to keep his name in the spotlight in the hope that fresh details will emerge at some stage.

The podcast reveals that dedicated online communities have spent hours sifting through photographs taken in London that day along with piles of information such as concert listings and events that Andrew may have headed to in an attempt to shed light on his movements after leaving King's Cross.

Added Kevin: “It’s absolutely baffling. No one had any idea that anything was bothering him, let alone what it might have been. We have never had the slightest evidence anything was wrong.

“We just do anything we can think of to at least establish if he is still alive.”

He added: “This could happen to anybody. There could be people like us who think everything is comfortable and normal, then out of the blue, something like this happens.”
