Missing Cottonwood Lodge residents

The media appears slightly scattered on these two missing residents. Ronald Hansen, age 61 and Michael Louis Andrews, age 55 both missing from Cottonwood Lodge; why is it that nearly all of the AWOL patients are from Cottonwood Lodge? the two adjoining units, do not have this problem.

From the Tri-City News :  Coquitlam cops seek man who went missing from Riverview

And Coquitlam RCMP :  Missing Cottonwood Lodge Patient

Coquitlam RCMP list only one missing at this time.

More recent updates:  Police search for missing men from Cottonwood Lodge
And one of the resident's has been located:  Located Missing Cottonwood Lodge Client
This appears to be Ronald Hansen; still missing is Michael Louis Andrews

"Leave them alone and they will come home, wagging their tails behind them"
