On August 21, 2020, 17-year-old Andrew Faye Nails was last seen in Norman, Oklahoma. At the time of his disappearance, Andrew, a Black / African American male, was described as being 5'8" tall and weighing approximately 140 pounds, with black hair styled in long braids and brown eyes. Andrew was in foster care and had run away from his group home. The circumstances surrounding his initial departure raised immediate concern for his well-being, prompting his case to be entered into national missing persons databases. In the days and weeks that followed, there were some indications of Andrew's possible whereabouts, though his exact location remained unknown. Shortly after he was reported missing, a post on his Snapchat account on August 25, 2020, suggested he was in Midwest City. Later, on September 16, 2020, his caseworker reported seeing another social media post where Andrew claimed he was living in Norman with a cousin, though the cousin's identity was not known. These sporadic updates provided glimmers of hope but also highlighted the transient and uncertain nature of his situation, leaving family and authorities anxious for more definitive information about his safety and location. The search for Andrew Nails continued, with law enforcement and other agencies working to piece together the sparse clues from his social media activity. The case was an active investigation for a period, with efforts focused on following up on any potential leads that could pinpoint his location and ensure his safety. Ultimately, the case reached a positive conclusion when Andrew was located and found to be alive. While the specific details and date of his recovery have not been widely publicized, the resolution brought an end to the uncertainty surrounding his disappearance.
