A missing person report was originally filed for Martin on March 11.
The search for Martin was recently suspended due to heavy snow in the area, but resumed a little over a week ago.

People frustrated about the search effort for a missing man gathered outside Duluth’s FBI office Friday.
Ironically, the group was not protesting the FBI–but rather–pushing the Fond du Lac tribal police department.
Friends and supporters of 31-year-old Peter Martin say they want the tribal police department to ask for the FBI’s help in finding him.

“Try to get federal authorities to step in and help with the case, as well as the Minnesota BCA,” said Jessica Gidagaakoons Smith, a family legal advocate who helped organize the protest.
“And one of my volunteers had already reached out to the Minnesota BCA, and the BCA officer told her that Fond du Lac police refused their help,” she said.
Gidagaakoons Smith said some members say they don’t feel protected by the tribal police and are afraid.

Tribal Police Chief Mel Barney released a statement saying, “Our investigation efforts are supported by highly trained officers, many from the Fond du Lac tribal community, and I have full confidence in our agency and our investigation division to utilize all available resources, which includes outside agencies, to support locating Mr. Martin.”
The FDL Business Committee says that Thursday it activated an Emergency Operations Center to help in the search.

Martin's family held a rally Saturday outside the Gerald W. Heaney Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse in Duluth, where FBI offices are located.
They fear foul play may have led to his disappearance, and they want the FBI to get involved in the search.

"They're not handling this the proper way," said cousin Colleen Martin. "They need actual law enforcement that knows how to handle something like this, and it's not Fond du Lac police."
