Benicia family missing following El Dorado County fire

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.”
