Craig Finne, a 61-year-old man from Rancho Mirage, California, has been missing since June 21, 2018. He was last heard from on that date, and his disappearance was reported on July 15, 2018. Finne was known to lead a transient lifestyle, often living out of his vehicle, and was an avid hiker and camper. His vehicle was later discovered on July 22 at Tool Box Springs Campground in Garner Valley, located near Idyllwild. This area was also impacted by the Cranston Fire, which began on July 25, 2018, and burned over 13,000 acres, raising concerns about his safety.

Finne was described as 5'11", weighing 180 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. He had been known to stay with his mother at the Brookdale Mirage Inn in Rancho Mirage and sometimes with friends in Orange County. Despite search efforts, no significant leads have emerged regarding his whereabouts. His case remains open, and authorities encourage anyone with information to contact the Palm Desert Sheriff’s Station.
