Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP14340) and 4 other sources
On a summer day in July of 1992, 83-year-old Edas Joseph Lauzon vanished from his home in Center Line, Michigan. A retired tool grinder from the Ford Motor Company, Edas, who was also known as Ed, was last seen on July 25th. Earlier that day, he had been involved in an argument with his wife. Following the disagreement, he left their residence on Lillian Street. He was driving his tan 1992 Ford Crown Victoria, which had a Michigan license plate with the number 348CFG. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and light gray slacks.

Edas Lauzon was described as a white male with gray, balding hair and blue eyes. He wore wire-rimmed prescription glasses. He had several distinguishing scars, including on the backs of both of his shoulder blades, his elbow, and his right finger. He had also undergone knee replacement surgery on both knees. After he drove away from his home, he was never seen or heard from again. Extensive searches were conducted, including in Canada where he had family, but no trace of him or his vehicle has ever been found.

The investigation into Edas Lauzon's disappearance has continued for decades, but has yielded no answers. His case is classified as an endangered missing person. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain a mystery. With no leads or evidence to suggest his whereabouts, the case eventually went cold. Seven years after he was last seen, Edas Lauzon was legally declared dead in 1999. The disappearance of Edas Lauzon is a perplexing case that has left his family without answers. The lack of any evidence, including the complete disappearance of his vehicle, has made the investigation particularly challenging for law enforcement. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open, a silent testament to a life that seemingly vanished without a trace.
