Chilling final image of 14-year-old who mysteriously vanished at train station as dad issues update

A chilling CCTV image was the moment a teenager who took a train to London in 2007 would be seen for the last time.

Andrew Gosden was just 14-years-old when he vanished after travelling from his home to the capital in Doncaster when he should've been at school.

On 14 September, the teenager went to catch a bus to school but didn't get on it. Instead, he withdrew £200 from his bank account and bought a one-way train ticket.

But after his parents went to work, he had returned home and changed out of his school uniform, later boarding the 9.35am train scheduled to arrive at King's Cross at 11.20am.

The haunting final image of him would sadly lead police nowhere, although it confirmed he had reached London.

The CCTV was not obtained until 27 days later, leaving police with a cold trail. His whereabouts were never determined and he has still not been found.

After the initial CCTV trail turned no answers, the investigation moved on to trying to establish why Gosden had decided to go to London.

Almost two-decades later, Andrew's dad Kevin is still speaking out about his son's disappearance in his blog, most recently marking the 19 year anniversary on 14 September.

Andrew's dad issues heartbreaking update

Kevin has worked with the charity Missing People to raise awareness of his son's disappearance. South Yorkshire Police have confirmed they would still review information submitted in relation to the teenager's disappearance.

Writing an emotional post on his blog, Kevin said the family have had 'no resolution'. "I very often write a short blog for Andrew’s birthday in July. This year, I found myself literally having no idea what to write. Not one thought. Zero," he penned.

"Some of it comes down to the ongoing battles with depression and anxiety, some of it simply because nothing has changed and never seems to.

"We still miss Andrew all the time and have no resolution of any kind."

Have there been any updates on the Andrew Gosden case?

Police and Andrew's family haven't been able to find any credible leads or sightings of him in the last 19 years.

Various theories have been put forward by his family in the years following, such as Andrew travelling to the capital for sightseeing, to see a band he liked perform in the city or even hand out CVs, as his older sister had previously done, however none of these ideas provided any credible leads.

Police also investigated whether or not Andrew could've made the journey to the capital in order to meet up with a friend online, however this theory was later disregarded after authorities learnt that Andrew did not have an email address or any online accounts linked to his PSP and Xbox.

It appeared that police had a lead in 2022 when South Yorkshire Police arrested two men on charges of kidnapping and human trafficking. However, they were later determined to have no connection to Andrew's case and released.

As of 2026, there have been no confirmed sightings or leads regarding Andrew, with his story remaining one of the most mysterious modern missing person's cases in the UK.
