Angela Jackson, the mother of missing 34-year-old Andrew Dumbrell, has publicly voiced her fears that her son was murdered after his discharge from Newcastle's Calvary Mater Hospital on January 14, 2025. Jackson has been searching for answers since her son went missing, claiming she has found video evidence showing a man threatening Andrew's life shortly before his disappearance. This alarming claim has intensified her fears regarding the circumstances surrounding his case, especially given her son's known mental health struggles.

In her public statements marking the first anniversary of Andrew's disappearance, Jackson has also leveled criticism against the hospital for allegedly failing to adhere to proper discharge protocols. While she believes that had the hospital managed Andrew's case better, he might not have vanished, the hospital has countered her accusations by denying any wrongdoing. This situation brings to light the importance of mental health care and the responsibilities of medical institutions in safeguarding vulnerable patients.

Despite the mounting concerns from Andrew's family, local police have stated that they are not treating the case as a homicide at this time. Investigations into Andrew's disappearance continue, but the lack of a homicide inquiry has left Angela Jackson feeling helpless and anxious about the safety of her son. As the search for clarity continues, the case raises broader questions about the treatment of mental health patients and the potential risks they face upon discharge from hospital care.
