On January 13, 2023, Egge was driving through the town of Athelstane when his car ran out of gas. Around 10:30 am, a man gave him half a gallon of gas and told him to head to the gas station up the road so they could fill it up the rest of the way, but for some reason Egge didn’t follow him.
Around 12:00 pm, Egge was seen walking on Benson Lake Road in Athelstane when he asked a resident for directions to Boat Landing 7 Road where he was living at the time. This is the last verified sighting of Egge.
