BEMIDJI-Despite weekend efforts by local law enforcement to locate Jeremy Jourdain, a Cass Lake teen missing since Nov. 1, police found no sign of the boy, according to a news release from the Bemidji Police Department.
Police worked with Valley Water Rescue of Moorhead, Minn., on Friday to search the south shoreline of Lake Bemidji and the east side of Lake Irvine with a K-9. On Sunday, the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office used sonar to search the bottoms of both lakes, the release said.
Police and family members have been searching for Jourdain for weeks. Multiple law enforcement agencies have used dogs, helicopters and boats in the search and have knocked on doors in the Nymore area where the teen was last seen, the release said.
Previous searches have covered all of Nymore, large portions of Bemidji and areas along U.S. Highway 71, Roosevelt Road, U.S. Highway 2 and Power Dam Road.
Jourdain is described as a 6-foot-4-inch, 175-pound Native American male with short, dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue and gray hooded sweatshirt and jeans. If you have had contact with Jourdain or know his current whereabouts, police ask that you contact the law enforcement center at (218) 333-9111.
