(WHAS11) – WHAS11 is learning more about the missing Sullivan University student.

18-year-old Andrew Compton’s parents say he would meet people on the Internet and think this could have played a role in his disappearance.
 
Compton was last seen near Lucia Street off Bardstown Road in the highlands last Thursday.

 “That he's dead, that's my first instinct because he's never done anything like this before,” Angela Compton, the victim’s mother, said.

John and Angela Compton say all the clues into their son Andrew’s disappearance are troubling.
           
The 18-years-old's dorm room at Sullivan University is un-touched,  his bank account un-touched, his cell phone is dead and going straight to voice-mail.

According to his cell phone records the last call he made was last Thursday to his mom right before he vanished.

 “He's never been gone more than two or three hours at a time,” Angela Compton said.

Andrew Compton's family lives in Carmel, Ind. But now they're staying in a hotel room in Louisville while they search for Andrew, but they aren't only searching the streets.

They got into Andrews e-mail accounts where they got access to a dating Web site Andrew used. On his e-mail accounts they found Andrew hat talked to a man two days before he disappeared.
           
In the email accounts they found this:

The man says, “Ok ill pick you up Thursday at 9 p.m.”.
           
Andrew says, “Cool, thanks.”
           
The man replies “See ya then.”

 “On surveillance video Andrew is seen leaving the dorm at 9 p.m.,” Angela Compton said, “A few seconds later a white car drives out that came to pick him up.”

The Comptons turned all of this over to LMPD including the name and number of the man who Andrew chatted with. Police say they went to question the man but he has not been charged.

The Comptons worry their son is being kept against his will and being harmed.             

If you have any information on his whereabouts please contact LMPD at 502-574-2111.

Indiana family concerned about son missing from Louisville university
By Chris Quay • November 5, 2010

Andrew Compton never went more than a day without talking to his parents.

So when his parents, who live in Carmel, Ind., hadn’t heard from the 18-year-old Sullivan University freshman they started to worry.

But after his roommate told them that Andrew hadn’t checked in with any of his friends for a couple of days, they became certain something was wrong.

Andrew has been missing since Oct. 28. He was last seen in the 1600 block of Lucia Avenue near Bardstown Road in front of an acquaintance’s home, his father, John Compton said.

Compton filed a missing persons report with the Carmel Police Department last Saturday. The Carmel police subsequently contacted Louisville Metro Police to check into Andrew’s disappearance.

A Louisville police spokesman confirmed that the Crimes Against Children Unit was investigating the matter. But, police cannot definitively say whether they suspect foul play because of a lack of evidence, said Dwight Mitchell, a department spokesman.

Mitchell said he could not provide details about the ongoing investigation and Lt. Charlie Harting with Carmel Police — who took the missing persons report from Andrew’s father — deferred comment to Louisville police because Andrew disappeared in Louisville.

Andrew graduated from Carmel High School in May and was attending Sullivan’s culinary program with aspirations of becoming a chef, because “he loved pastries and finer foods,” according to his mother Angela.

John Compton said police told him that they have questioned a person who Andrew met online and who allegedly picked up the teen from his dorm the day he disappeared.

Police have not released that person’s name nor has the person been charged, Mitchell said.

The family believes Andrew also had one previous encounter with the person prior to Oct. 27, according to Andrew’s personal e-mails they have read.

His mother said dorm video security footage she has seen shows Andrew leaving without carrying anything or having a backpack or suitcase or anything that would indicate he planned on not returning to the dorm that same evening.

She described her son as “very quiet” and “very reserved” and someone who might be easily overpowered. He is described as being 5-foot-8 and weighs 125 pounds.

He was wearing a gray hoodie, blue/gray v-neck shirt with designs on it, light khaki–colored shorts, white socks and a brown belt, according to a flier the family prepared.

Anyone with information should call the Louisville anonymous crime tip line at 502-574-LMPD or Carmel Police at (317) 571-2500.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WISH) - A Carmel couple is in Louisville, Kentucky desperately searching for their missing son.

According to the 18 year old's phone records his last phone call was to his mother on Thursday, October 28th. And now, Carmel Police are working with Louisville Metro Police to find Andrew Compton.

John and Angela Compaton are leading their own search on Louisville streets. They want to find their son 18 year old Andrew Compton who was last seen leaving his Sullivan University dorm in Louisville October 28th at about 9:00pm.

24-Hour News 8 spoke to John and Angela on the phone. They were in a Louisville hotel room waiting for word from authorities.

"We certainly fear that but think the circumstances under which he disappeared are quite suspicious. And he just left with the clothes on his back his cell phone his wallet his mp3 player and he had shorts on." said Angela Compton.

John Compton added, "He didn't take his backpack didn't take his laptop."

The suspicious circumstances Angela referred to was email correspondence with a 40 year old man who Andrew met online. The same man seen in school surveillance video picking up Andrew the last time the teen was seen on campus. Louisville Metro police questioned the man.

"The individual says yeah I picked him up I brought him to my house but I got too inebriated to drive him home and he left late." said John Compton.

While police have questioned the man who was last seen with Andrew Compton they have not arrested him or released his name as a person of interest in the case. Meantime, the Compton family remains in Louisville where they are searching for Andrew in the area he was last seen.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - The parents of a central Indiana teenager who moved to Louisville to attend Sullivan University have reported him missing and are in town trying to find out where he is. Angela and John Compton said the last time they spoke with their 18-year-old son, Andrew, was on Oct. 28.

"His mood was good. And he seemed happy. He was talking about a pumpkin carving contest he finished up. So, you know, I expected to talk to him the next day," Angela Compton said.

After not hearing from Andrew, his parents drove to Louisville from Carmel, IN on Halloween to search for answers. According to them, Andrew was seen last seen near Bardstown Road and Lucia Avenue. That's the location where the Comptons spent most of their time handing out flyers on Nov. 6.

"We're trying to get the word out as much as we can," said Angela Compton. "We're just extremely worried. I mean, it's been over a week. Something is wrong. I just I know it is."

The Compton family became even more concerned after they found an email with a conversation between Andrew and a man dated Oct. 26, two days before Andrew was last seen. Phrases were written in the email like: "ok I'll pick you up Thursday at 9 p.m.", "cool, thanks", "see ya then", and "ok, cool, see you then."

His parents said Andrew was caught on surveillance video that Thursday night getting into a white car around 9 p.m. Angela Compton said she warned her son about meeting people online. She also said it wasn't the first time Andrew has meet a stranger online.

"I've broken down many times. I can't believe this is happening," said Angela Compton. "To go running around for a week in a city he doesn't even know, it doesn't make any sense."

Alicia Smiley, a Louisville Metro Police spokesperson, said they have spoken with the man from the email and he has not been named a suspect in Andrew's disappearance, but LMPD is continuing to investigate.

According to his parents, Andrew Compton was wearing a gray Aeropostale sweatshirt with a hood, a blue/gray v-neck shirt with a graphic design on it, light khaki shorts, white socks, and a brown belt. If anyone has any information about Andrew Compton, they should call the LMPD Crime Tip Line at 574-LMPD (5673). All calls to the Crime Tip Line are anonymous.

Carmel parents in frantic search for missing son in Louisville
John and Angela Compton are going door-to-door and handing out "missing person" fliers, hoping somebody in Louisville has seen their son Andrew.
 
By Zach Myers
4:21 a.m. EST, November 7, 2010

Louisville — "We've had some people call in, either from the fliers we're putting up or from the Facebook event and say they've seen him," John Compton said.  "But we've followed up on almost all of them and none of them really seem to pan out."

Andrew Compton graduated from Carmel High School and has been attending Culinary School at Sullivan University.  But he's been missing since the Thursday before Halloween.  The last time Angela Compton spoke to her son, she says everything seemed fine.  But later that night, the Comptons and Louisville Police believe Andrew left his dorm room to go with a 40-year old man he had met on the internet.

Security footage at the dorm showed Andrew being picked up by the man.  But Andrew left without his backpack or laptop and wearing shorts, possibly indicating that he didn't expect to be gone long.  Angela Compton says meeting with somebody from the internet is something Andrew has done before.  It happened once after Andrew had turned 18, but was still in high school.  "So, you know we had, definitely a huge discussion about it.  And, you know, restricted his use of the car and all of that.  But apparently he didn't stop," she said.

Carmel Teen's Disappearance Baffles Parents, Police
Man Missing Since Oct. 28

POSTED: 8:02 am EST November 8, 2010

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The parents of an 18-year-old man from Carmel who moved to Kentucky to attend college are desperate for answers after the teen's disappearance.

Andrew Compton, 18, has been missing since Oct. 28. His parents, Angela and John Compton, went to Louisville to hand out flyers over the weekend in hopes of generating new leads in the case.

The man's mother said she spoke to him on the phone last week, just before his disappearance.

"His mood was good, seemed happy," Angela Compton said. "He was telling me about a pumpkin carving contest he just finished off. So, I expected to talk to him the next day."

Investigators have focused on an e-mail mystery in the case involving a conversation between Andrew and a man.

The e-mail indicated there was an arrangement for the man to pick up Andrew on the day he disappeared. His mother said it wasn't the first time Andrew met a stranger he had befriended online.

Authorities in Louisville said they spoke with the man in the e-mail and that he is not considered a suspect.

"He's dead, that's my first instinct, because he's never done anything like this before," Angela Compton told WHAS-TV. "He's never been gone more than two or three hours at a time."

The Comptons are staying in Louisville as the investigation continues. They told WHAS their son's dorm room at Sullivan University and bank account haven't been touched and that his cell phone is dead.

Compton is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs about 125 pounds.

1:00 AM, Nov 9, 2010  |  

The parents of an 18-year-old Carmel man missing for more than a week had warned their son last year about the dangers of meeting strangers through online contacts.

Andrew Compton, a freshman culinary-arts student at Sullivan University in Louisville, Ky., was last seen Oct. 28.

Police said he was planning to meet in person with a 40-year-old man he had contacted online.

Although police consider Compton's disappearance suspicious, Louisville Police Department spokesman Dwight Mitchell said Monday there's no evidence anything sinister has happened.

Police are referring to the 40-year-old man, who picked up Compton at his dorm the last day he was seen, as a "person of interest," with whom they are still talking.

Mitchell said police have examined Compton's computer but found no other conversations or scheduled meetings with any other online friends. He wouldn't detail conversations police have had with the man who picked Compton up; police aren't releasing his name because he hasn't been charged.

However, Derek Compton, Andrew's older brother who is a student at Indiana University, said police told the family that the man didn't have a criminal record.

Derek Compton said Andrew, a 2010 Carmel High graduate, was very shy and preferred interacting with new people online.

He said Andrew was close to his family but kept his Internet activities a secret.

"He loved sitting home, watching TV and eating desserts," Derek said about his brother.

"The only time he'd leave home was to go to the store to get more junk food, so this is completely out of the ordinary. . . . He was an introvert. He liked the anonymity of the Internet to meet people, so he could think through what he wanted to say."

Andrew had met an online friend in person last year, causing his parents to give him a stern warning about personal safety, Derek added.

When last seen, Andrew Compton was wearing a gray Aeropostale hoodie sweatshirt, blue-gray V-neck shirt, khaki-colored shorts, white socks and a brown belt, according to a flier from the family. It also said he is 5-foot-8 and 125 pounds.

Carmel couple search for son missing in Louisville

Updated: Nov 08, 2010 4:05 PM EST /Jeremy Brilliant/Eyewitness News

Louisville - It's been more than ten days since a Carmel couple has heard from their 18-year-old son. Andrew Compton disappeared from Louisville, where he attends culinary school.

The Comptons say Andrew is usually in daily contact with them. When he didn't call or email for two days they were concerned, and after three days they became worried something happened. They made the trip to Louisville and started posting fliers and trying to anything to find their son.

John and Angela Compton are on a mission, walking the streets of Louisville searching for clues and looking for answers.

Andrew Compton, a 2010 Carmel High School graduate, was last seen October 28th.

"It's just so unprecedented and it doesn't feel right that I'm just really afraid that something's happened to him," she said.

Andrew attends culinary school at Sullivan University. Surveillance video shows him leaving the lobby of his dormitory and heading outside.

"Unfortunately he didn't heed my advice and others advice that if you're going to insist on meeting someone in person who you met online, you have to meet in a public place. You have to tell someone where you're going," said Andrew's father.

Andrew did neither. In an email his family found, the 18-year-old planned to meet a 40-year-old man at 9:00 pm on October 28th. The surveillance video shows him leaving just before 9:00 pm.

The man drove Andrew to his apartment in the Highlands, a part of Louisville known for its nightlife. It's popular among college students. What happened from this point on remains a mystery.

"Apparently he was the last person to see him, so that's why he's a person of interest. He might be able to give us some insight on what his next place he was going, if they had a conversation or something like that. So he remains a person of interest. Now if you're asking me if he's a suspect, I can't say that at this point," said Dwight Mitchell, Louisville Metro Police Department.

ARREST: Man charged with murder of missing student

Posted: Nov 09, 2010 8:21 AM CST Updated: Nov 09, 2010 11:11 AM CST


LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB Fox 41) -- Louisville Metro Police have arrested a man they say murdered a missing boy, then abused his corpse.  That's as an Indianapolis TV station reports that police are searching a landfill in Jackson County, Indiana, hoping to find the victim's remains.

The story of Andrew Compton's disappearance broke a few days ago. The 18-year-old Sullivan University student had not been seen since Oct. 28th. His parents believed a 40-year-old man he met online may have had something to do with his disappearance.

Fox 41 News has learned that police have since arrested 40-year-old Gregory M. O'Bryan in connection with Compton's disappearance. O'Bryan has been charged with murder, tampering with physical evidence and abuse of a corpse.

According to an arrest report obtained by Fox 41 News, Compton was reported missing on Oct. 30. The family discovered  that he had communicated with O'Bryan via e-mail just prior to his disappearance.

When police first interviewed O'Bryan, he told them that he had met with Compton on Oct. 28. He said the two of them purchased alcohol and he took Compton back to his apartment where they had sexual relations. At that point, O'Bryan told police, Compton left on foot and he didn't see him again.

On Monday, Nov. 1, according to the arrest report, police executed a search warrant on OBryan's apartment in the 1600 block of Lucia Avenue. The arrest report does not explain why the search warrant was executed, nor what was found there.

What it does say is that O'Bryan changed his story. He told police that Compton died during their sexual relations on Oct. 28 and that he continued having sex with Compton after he was dead.

Police say O'Bryan "admitted to disposing of the victim's body and other evidence in order to conceal his death."

The arrest represents a tragic end to several days' of searching for the whereabouts of Andrew Compton.

His parents told Fox 41 News Sunday that they made a habit of talking to Andrew by phone almost everyday.

"It is on my mind every second, waking up, going to bed, middle of the night. It's very intense, very traumatic for us," Angela Compton said Sunday during an interview with Fox 41 News.

The 18-year old freshman from Carmel, Indiana was enrolled in Sullivan University's culinary program. His parents left Indiana last week after becoming concerned about his safety. He hadn't returned to his dorm and his bank account remained untouched.

"Our fear is that he is being held against his will or that he is being harmed," said John Compton, his father, on Sunday.

John Compton had told Fox 41 that surveillance footage from Sullivan University shows his son was picked up from his dorm around 9 p.m. Oct. 28th.

"It's been very frustrating, very trying," said John Compton on Sunday.

Angela Compton says there were no indications in the emails exchanged on what her son and this man were planning to do.

Compton's parents say they have warned their son before about meeting people online.

"Last spring, we knew he met someone online," said Angela Compton. "We just a had discussion with him about the safety issues surrounding that. But obviously, he didn't stop. I hope it didn't cost him his life."

The Comptons had also tried to cast a wider net by posting information online at Facebook and a separate Web page.

Tuesday, 09 November 2010 12:24


Andrew Compton, the 18-year-old Sullivan University Student missing for nearly two weeks, is dead and a Louisville man is charged with his murder, according to a police report. 

The report says the accused man told police that Compton died during a sex act.

Andrew Compton disappeared on October 29.   His parents say a search of Compton's computer revealed e-mails that indicated that just prior to his disappearance, Compton had arranged to meet a man he met on the Internet near Lucia Avenue in the Highlands.

At 1:30am Tuesday, Metro Police arrested Gregory M. O'Bryan, 40, (pictured to the right) at his residence at 1606 Lucia Avenue.  According to the report, O'Bryan admitted to detectives that he also had sex with Compton's body after he had died, and that O'Bryan disposed of the body and other evidence in order to conceal his death.

O'Bryan is charged with murder, tampering with physical evidence and abuse of a corpse.  Police say they executed a search warrant on Monday at O'Bryan's apartment.

It is not clear whether police had discovered Compton's body.

According to the police report, O'Bryan originally told police he picked up Compton on October 28, bought alcohol, and took Compton to his apartment.  Police say O'Bryan originally stated that after the two men had sex that Compton had left on foot.

Compton's family had planned to bring in a K9 unit to help search for him.   Louisville Metro Police had said they had questioned the man from the Internet, but had not named any suspects.
