A missing Grizzly Flats man was last heard from while fleeing the Caldor Fire, his nephew told FOX40.

Jim Bradford told FOX40 he received a call from Marvin Creel, who’s been missing since Wednesday, Aug. 18, but was unable to speak to him due to poor reception.

“The last thing he said to me was Wednesday morning at 10:48. He called, said, ‘Jimmy, it’s your uncle.’ I said, ‘Hey, uncle Marvin, are you OK?'” Bradford said. “There was a lot of background noise and the call ended.”

That was the last time anyone spoke to Creel, he said.

Appears to still be missing.
There’s around 350 comments under the post including those from family.
If family’s comments (JB) are accurate, makes the circumstance even more worrisome. IMO
