What Happened
According to authorities, Donald Carroll was last seen during the early morning hours of October 4. Surveillance footage and witness reports indicate that he was spotted near the local Walmart off Highway 20 shortly before his disappearance.
Investigators said a GPS tracker attached to his keys last pinged near McKercher Park, close to Crawfordsville. This has led law enforcement to believe that Carroll may have become disoriented or lost while driving.
He is believed to be driving a gray 2016 Ford Edge with Oregon Smokey Bear license plate SB71662.
