A Benicia family is missing following a fire in El Dorado
County, according to a press release Friday.
Adam Buchanan, his 7-year-old son Gavin and Gavin's mother
Molly McAfee have been reported missing after a fire gutted
Buchanan's cabin near Georgetown in El Dorado County "last
weekend," according to the release.
The actual date of the fire was not immediately
available.
The statement was released by the law offices of Gizzi
& Reep, LLP in Benicia.
Buchanan is the president and chief operating officer of
Buchanan Construction, Inc. located in the Benicia
Industrial Park and a longtime Benician, the release
states.
Investigators are still determining the cause of the fire
and the whereabouts of Buchanan, McAfee and Gavin.
"In the meantime, the remaining members of Adam's family
are cooperating with authorities in their investigation and
sincerely appreciate the outpouring of kindness from the
community during this very difficult time," the statement
says. "Until the family receives answers to the same
questions that so many in the community have, they request
their privacy to be respected, and that the community
continue to keep Adam and his family in their thoughts and
prayers."
They are all very dead where there are so many deaths near my
family, roommates, audience, clients, public officials, bankers
and real agents.
