Sneak peek: Andreen McDonald: A Millionaire Vanishes | Forensic Files

Andre McDonald had a very very strict regimen she followed it daily nice drop it that a girl she would
be at the gym at 5:30 in the morning in the office by 8:00 on March 1st they had
no indication she would be late she didn't show up for work this was very significant to her
employees they called the gym and found out she never showed up to the gym which
is like a religion to her I Colin Andy repeatedly it's going to voicemail you know the anxiety starts steading in like
I start panicking for aning to be missing is not possible the biggest issue for me were
the fact that her phone was missing her purse was still there her keys were on the counter and her Vehicles were still
there if her vehicle's there her purse is there her keys are there if she's missing is there a concern of an AB
production the deputies obviously didn't know what to think at this point they were just beginning the
investigation what we did learn is andrean McDonald a beautiful Jamaican woman was brought to the United States
by uh Andre her husband as a major in the Air Force and had top secret security clearance they began a assisted living
business where they in short order became millionaires the picture of the American
dream she's not boastful or anything like that she's just that humble person andreen had a great reputation in not
only the assisted living community here in San Antonio and we're on this side of
the street this morning and we're giving out food for those less fortunate and she was very very generous with her
wealth and her time God bless you kind of a a rising star of the of San Antonio absolutely a very very much so a rising
star they were always laughing together they were always joking around the home didn't seem to be in
terrible disarray no furniture was knocked over or anything was broken I found there was blood on the
wall in an area that was kind of odd there was blood and hair on a light switch we assumed that something
happened there it was a crime scene of some sort I was on social media and I saw
that initial poster that came out with her face and then it says missing on the top andrean is not the person to go take
off somewhere no one knows where she is supporters for Andre McDonald renewed their search efforts when the months
went by and the days went by and they haven't found anything in my mind that's not such a bad
thing because if they're not able to find something that solidifies her being dead I mean she's alive right and she's
somewhere
