AI-generated summary
Alan Leslie Graham, 79, disappeared from Angepena Station near Leigh Creek, South Australia between 30 April and 2 May 2016. He was an experienced traveller with a keen interest in geology who frequently visited remote properties. His vehicle broke down on rough terrain with flat front tyres while he was attempting to cross ranges. The coroner found he likely abandoned his vehicle and attempted to walk back to the homestead, but his remains were never located. Medical records showed he was diabetic on multiple medications including sertraline and metformin. The cause of death remains undetermined as no remains were found. The extensive search involved helicopter, aircraft, and emergency services but was terminated on 7 May after medical experts indicated survival beyond 5 May was unlikely.
