MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Andrew Beckham’s husky, Maverick, meant everything to him.
While serving in the military, Beckham turned to TrustedHousesitters.com to find someone to watch his home -- and Maverick -- during a short deployment.
That’s where he found Andy Jensen.
“I found Andy online. He had 12 good reviews. It seemed like a good pick at the time,” Beckham said.
Jensen, a South Florida man who wanted to experience Colorado, took the job. He flew to Aurora, and at first, everything seemed fine.
Beckham says Jensen sent updates, including photos of himself smiling with Maverick.
But in early April, while Beckham was overseas, both Maverick and Jensen disappeared. Beckham’s blue Subaru was also stolen.
Home surveillance video shows the two leaving the house on April 2.
Aurora police say the car was found in Denver about a month later -- with Maverick dead inside.
“Maverick suffered a lot in that car, and it looks like there may have been some external injuries,” Beckham said.
Now, Beckham wants answers -- where Jensen is, what happened, and why.
He says police are searching for him.
“The cell phone he did have, it appears to be offline. It’s not hitting cell towers since April 2. He has no credit cards, no debit cards. It appears he closed his bank account,” Beckham said.
We went to Jensen’s last listed address in Palmetto Bay.
Someone was home, but no one came to the door.
Police have not found Jensen and are asking for the public’s help in locating him. Officials say they are also working with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office as the search continues.
