The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office is searching for 20-year-old Kamaurion Craig, who was reported missing and endangered after he was last seen walking away on foot near Luker Road in Piedmont around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night. Craig stands about five feet six inches tall, weighs roughly 135 pounds, and has brown eyes and black hair.
According to FOX Carolina News, the sheriff’s office announced the search Wednesday after Craig was last spotted near the Piedmont roadway the night before. He left the area on foot, and investigators have not said which direction he may have traveled.
Craig was last seen wearing a gray shirt with a red plaid pocket and gray pants. Deputies also said he was carrying a green, blue, and white blanket at the time he disappeared, a detail that could help anyone who spots him in the Upstate area.
Medical Condition Adds Urgency to the Search
Officials said Craig lives with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, a detail cited as part of the reason he has been classified as missing and endangered rather than simply missing. That classification typically prompts a faster, more coordinated law enforcement response in South Carolina.
Anyone with information on Craig’s whereabouts is asked to call 911 immediately. No further details about the circumstances of his disappearance, such as a specific address or search area, have been released.
Pattern of Similar Searches Across the Upstate
Craig’s case follows a string of recent missing-endangered reports in the Greenville area. Just over a week earlier, a man last seen on Oct. 6 in Spartanburg County was believed to be in Greenville, according to Spartanburg officials cited by WYFF. In another case, deputies reported finding a missing endangered man’s vehicle while a search remained underway in Greenville County, per the same station’s reporting.
Not every outcome has been grim. In March, a missing, endangered man last seen in downtown Greenville was found safe, FOX Carolina reported at the time, and in April, Greenville police searched for a missing endangered woman in a separate case. The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office has not indicated whether Craig has been located.
Residents in Piedmont and the surrounding Upstate are urged to watch for Craig’s description and call 911 right away with any sightings.
