I know some of you guys are from MN so I thought this was worth posting here.

-----------------------------------------
We need everyones help here.

Ryan Hamre, Associate Editor of Petersen's Bowhunting Magazine has been missing since Saturday morning the 17th in Rice, MN. Ryan is 24 years old, brownish/blonde hair, 6 foot tall and about 185 pounds.

Ryan lives in Nisswa, MN and his parents live in Winona, MN which is where Ryan was expected to be going Saturday morning. Ryan never showed up in Winona and no one has heard from him since Friday night. I'm attaching a report that ran in the Winona Daily News. there's a chance Ryan might have changed his mind and headed North to an Ice Fishing festical in Walker, MN (leech lake sp?). Ryan drives a dark blue 4x4 Dakota Dodge with a white canopy. It's very uncharacteristic of Ryan, he loves working with the magazine and is family guy with a great relationship with his father, mother and two sisters.

Please, anyone who lives in MN or happened to be in the Brainerd, Rice, Nisswa area this past week, if you happen to have some time, please keep an eye out for Ryan's Blue Dodge pickup or if you have any info, time to help looking, planes to help fly the area please contact the numbers listed

here are some numbers to call:
Nisswa Police Department at (218) 963-4301 or the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Department at (218) 829-4749.

Nisswa man missing

Police seek Ryan Hamre, unseen since Saturday

By MATT ERICKSON

Nisswa police are looking for a 24-year-old man believed to be missing since Saturday.

Police Chief Craig Taylor said Ryan Christoffer Hamre, of Nisswa, last talked to friends Friday, saying he planned to visit his parents in Winona over the weekend. Surveillance cameras recorded Hamre buying gasoline, oil and getting cash from an ATM at 5:53 a.m. Saturday at a Rice gas station.

What happened to Hamre after he left the Rice gas station isn't known, Taylor said. He never arrived at his parents' Winona home and hasn't contacted family members or friends since Friday.

"It's very uncharacteristic of Ryan to do something like this," said Ryan Hamre's mother, Pamela Hamre. "He never misses work. He loves his job. We've contacted every one of his friends. He has a lot of them, they have a kind of network, and no one has heard from him since Friday. It's very unusual."

Pamela Hamre said her son didn't mention that he was coming to visit them in Winona this past weekend, but had left a message at their house on Friday. She said it wasn't unusual for Ryan Hamre to visit without calling first.

Pamela Hamre also made a plea to the public to help find her son.

Nisswa police received a missing person report Tuesday after Ryan Hamre failed to show up for work and his cell phone was found in a ditch along Highway 10 near Royalton. Taylor said foul play isn't suspected but family members said it was uncharacteristic for him to leave without telling anyone.

"It's suspicious in that he's never done anything like this before," Taylor said. "Nobody's heard from him, not friends or family."

Hamre is an associate editor at Petersen's Bowhunting magazine, which is a division of InterMedia, the parent company of In-Fisherman magazine. Patty Harrison, an employee with In-Fisherman, said Hamre had worked with the bowhunting magazine for about two years. She said Hamre gave no indication to InterMedia that he wouldn't be in to work on Tuesday.

"He loves his job and it's unlike him to not call in and let either his parents or his employers know where he was," Harrison said Wednesday. "He's a very responsible young man."

InterMedia employees Wednesday planned to place posters featuring photos and a description of Ryan Hamre throughout the Brainerd area.

Hamre is described as a white man, 6 feet tall, weighing 175 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. He wears glasses and has a beard. He was driving a dark blue Dodge Dakota pickup and was last seen wearing a black jacket, a yellow polo shirt with stripes, blue jeans, black shoes and a gray baseball cap.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Nisswa Police Department at (218) 963-4301 or the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Department at (218) 829-4749.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and please keep positive thoughts for our bowhunting brother.

There are alot of posters in the stores around this area. It seems unlikely that he would have turned around and gone back north after going as far south as Rice. His cell phone was found in a ditch... weird.

Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
 
Will watch for the truck more than the plates- something just doesn't sound right if the cell phone was located in a ditch.
 
Here is the latest...

Man was visiting at a cabin up north
By JENNIFER STOCKINGER
Staff Writer
The 24-year-old Nisswa man who has been missing for a week was found alive Friday in northeastern Minnesota, Lake County Sheriff Carey Johnson said Saturday.

Ryan Christoffer Hamre was found a day after his pickup truck was found in Lake County at an acquaintance's cabin about an hour north of Two Harbors.

Johnson said Hamre's father, David Hamre, said that his son was found about 6:30 p.m. Friday by the cabin owner who spotted him walking out of the brush onto the Tomahawk Trail, a road near Isabella, halfway between Ely and Lake Superior.

Johnson said Hamre was staying at the cabin for a few nights and on Thursday he apparently had gone for a walk and became lost. Hamre found shelter by a tree where he slept for the night and he built a fire to keep warm. On Friday, Hamre was able to find his way back to the road where he was found.

Hamre was treated at an Ely hospital for frostbite and was determined to be in fine health.

Johnson said the family said that Hamre had planned to go to the cabin for a few days and that it was a miscommunication between the family on where he was going.

Nisswa Police Chief Craig Taylor said Saturday that he is happy and relieved that Hamre was found alive and was grateful to all the law enforcement agencies who helped in the search.

The Nisswa Police Department received a missing person report Tuesday after Hamre failed to show up for work. Hamre is an associate editor at Petersen's Bowhunting magazine, which is a division of InterMedia, the parent company of In-Fisherman magazine in Baxter. A company spokeswoman said earlier that Hamre gave no indication to InterMedia that he wouldn't be in to work on Tuesday.

It was reported that Hamre last talked to friends Feb. 16, saying he planned to visit his parents in Winona over the weekend. Surveillance cameras recorded Hamre buying gasoline, oil and getting cash from an ATM at 5:53 a.m. Saturday at a Rice gas station. His cell phone was found in a ditch along Highway 10 near Royalton. Family members said it was uncharacteristic of Hamre to go somewhere without calling friends or family.

Hamre's pickup truck and personal belongings were then found Thursday in Lake County at an acquaintance's cabin. The truck had a half of tank of gas and was left unlocked with the keys in the ignition.

Johnson said a county deputy passed a man fitting Hamre's description walking in the area Thursday and when he went to do a welfare check on the man he couldn't be located.

Johnson said neighbors thought they also saw Hamre Thursday walking north along Highway 1. Johnson said one neighbor was working on his roof and he climbed down to see if the man needed help. By the time the neighbor reached the ground the man believed to be Hamre was gone.

Ground and air searches and a bloodhound were conducted to try to locate Hamre, but weren't successful.

Assisting the Lake County Sheriff's Department in the search were the State Patrol, the Ely and Babbitt police departments, the St. Louis County Sheriff Department and Search and Rescue Team and the BCA.

Hamre's parents, David and Pamela Hamre of Winona, stayed in Ely Friday to try to locate their son. David Hamre said Friday that his son had stayed at the cabin before to go hunting with a friend of his from Brainerd. Hamre said the cabin is owned by his son's friend's parents.

Pamela Hamre said Friday that many of their friends and family helped in the search for her son.
