Lauren Donald Craven, 67, went missing after a routine errand on April 7, 2022. A long-time co-owner of the Fallis Country Store and Liquor with his wife Christy, his family says he had shown personality changes in the years after a head injury, with recent anxiety, depression, confusion and tremors when tired. He was last seen around noon in Wildwood wearing jeans and a rust-brown hip-length coat with wide reflective tape, and was driving a grey 2003 Toyota Corolla, Alberta plate CKK 9977.

A missing person report was filed with Evansburg RCMP on April 11, 2022. The community searched and police used helicopters; nothing turned up until August 26, 2022, when his Corolla was found abandoned about 15 kilometres north of Sparwood, British Columbia. A newspaper dated June 17, 2022, was in the vehicle. Records show he checked into the Grand Union Hotel in Coleman, Alberta, on April 11 and stayed until June 16, 2022. Extensive searches around where the car was located have not located Lauren.

Anyone who knew Lauren or who was in the Elk Valley area and saw anything unusual is asked to contact the RCMP.
