How often would Namrud contact his family? Where would he stay while traveling? Hopefully he's safe because this is worrying.

They’ve been working with tribal and local police departments, as well as a private investigator.

They’ve launched social media campaigns, put up billboards, made lawn signs, and are considering setting up a reward.

Mike Randall is the Chief Deputy for the Iron County Sheriff’s Department.

He said that the department has been working with the FBI, his hometown police department, and the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

A caller in Plover, WI recently said he saw a man matching Tessema’s description per billboards in the area, but Plover Police were not able to find him.

There were police reports of calls about a shoeless man up in Ashland County, around the right timeframe, which were passed on to the Iron County contacts. Couldn’t find any more info though. I located that via the Facebook page dedicated to him. Waaay down in a comment, there’s a screenshot of the reports and the dept response that they’d follow up.

I hope they really did follow up.

I hope they really did follow up.

There’s not much to the reports. It mentions that the responding officer was unable to locate. Patrols are spaced out, it’s a large county. It was probably a low urgency call for them, and probably took a while to get there when they had time. But it is a possible route he may have taken. Last mention of a shoeless man was near Hwy 112 near Ashland. Next logical county would be Bayfield.

Thx for the info. I really hope he is ok. Wisconsin winters are no joke.
