Missing Couple Were Traveling to Pick Up Craigslist Car

A Cobb County couple may be in danger. They were last heard from Thursday afternoon as they headed to South Georgia to pick up a car they had purchased on Craigslist, according to Cobb County Police.

Elrey “Bud” Runion and June Runion, of Marietta, were supposed to return Friday to babysit their grandchildren, but they never arrived. The Facebook page “Find Bud and June Runion” has more than 53,000 likes as of Sunday afternoon.

The Runion’s daughters say the couple left with their cell phones and chargers, but that no one has heard from them since 3:30 p.m. Thursday, according to WSBTV.

The couple would be driving a pewter/champagne color 2003 GMC Envoy with a Georgia tag of BWU7349, according to Cobb County Police.

Anyone with information about the couple’s whereabouts is asked to call Cobb County Police at 770-499-3900.

Several law enforcement agencies and volunteers joined the search Sunday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

In the latest update on the family’s Facebook page, the family noted a Bible verse: “Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character, hope.”
