Patrick Gregoire Auger, 64, left Desmarais, Alberta on October 28, 1983 intending to travel to Slave Lake. He was last seen four days later, on November 1, 1983, at the Greyhound bus depot in Slave Lake boarding a bus bound for Peace River and never arrived at his destination.

Auger was an Indigenous man, about 5 feet 7 inches and 130 pounds, with graying black hair and brown eyes. He had old injuries that left his right fourth toe deformed and his large toe twisted from prior fractures. At the time he disappeared he wore a tan parka, tan hat, green pants and black rubbers over tan moccasins. The Slave Lake RCMP investigated but the trail went cold.

The known timeline ends with that boarding at the bus depot; nothing is publicly reported about his movements after that. If anyone saw Patrick Auger during that trip or remembers him from Slave Lake or along the Peace River route, please share what you know.
