Nagel was last heard from Wednesday, November 15, at 11:45 p.m. and was seen driving a 2005 Black Chevy Colorado with a Minnesota license plate DLB-549.

Officials believe he was in the Diamond Bluff/Hager City area.

On Saturday November 18, more than 200 volunteers joined the Goodhue County sheriff’s office in the search, beginning between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.

“We mapped out some townships for each little group to go through and they did that,” Goodhue County Sheriff Marty Kelly said. “We’ve covered an incredible amount of ground looking for the truck that was our main goal today to find the vehicle and we have not found it yet. We have two airplanes still in the air, our water patrol is searching the river, the banks and so far, no leads.”

Goodhue County Sheriff Marty Kelly didn’t confirm if the windows of the truck were up or down but did say some personal items belonging to Nagel were found in the water near the truck. Kelly went on to say hundreds of volunteers have searched more than 1000 square miles and river boats and drones are also being utilized. Nagel is 57 years old, 5-foot-7, with brown hair and brown eyes. He’s been an instructor at the Red Wing Enviornmental Learning Center for more than three decades.

The county sheriff offices continued their search along the Wisconsin channel just outside of Hager City and race against the cold weather front that could limit their time in the water as temperatures drop this weekend.

According to Goodhue County Sheriff’s Office, Nagel was last seen walking alone in Red Wing around 7:40 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 16. A few days later, on Sunday, Nov. 19, Nagel’s truck was found in the Wisconsin channel of the Mississippi River.

But with temperatures dwindling closer to below freezing, it will shorten the amount of time divers can be in the water.

“The tentative plan right now is we’re going to continue some active efforts daily,” Koranda said. “We’re kind of processing the information as it comes in. Working with Sheriff Kelly [the Goodhue County Sheriff]. We may try to do a little bit larger of a search, but at the end of the day right now we don’t necessarily have ground zero to start from.”

Even with divers time limited to search for signs of Nagel in the water and fewer officers on duty for the holiday weekend. Koranda says the popularity of the Hager City boat launch from fishers and fur trappers could provide extra eyes in their absence.

Missing Red Wing Man Found With Self-Inflicted Wound

His body was found yesterday.

krocnews.com

Red Wing, MN (KROC-AM News) - The death of a previously missing Red Wing area man was apparently a suicide.

The Goodhue County Sheriff's Office issued a news release this afternoon indicating 57-year-old Brad Nagel suffered from a single self-inflicted wound. His body was found yesterday down a steep embankment on his property in rural Red Wing.

How sad. I wonder why he submerged his truck? RIP Brad <3

 

[Joe Friday]

Seems strange that he would drive his truck into the Mississippi river at a boat launch in Hager City, Wisconsin and then walk all the way back along the highway, through Red Wing, and to his property somewhere in rural Red Wing, Minnesota and commit suicide.

Maybe he tried to drown himself in the truck, but managed to get out.

When he was seen on video walking through Red Wing he must have been on his way back home.

RIP Brad

JMO
