Investigators from the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office released a new age-progressed photo of Nathan Edberg on Tuesday, which marks 27 years since he disappeared.
Twenty-one-year-old Nathan Edberg was last seen in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, in 1999. Lead Investigator Miles Kensler has been on the case for 10 years.
Kensler said Nathan Edberg was at the Decoy Bar and Grill that night, a restaurant where he used to work. Then, he took some calls on a payphone before he left the bar.
Kensler said later, Nathan Edberg’s car was found in a ditch with two flat tires near Interstate 694 and Interstate 35 East.
“The state trooper in their report indicated that when they found the vehicle, it was unoccupied, and they saw footprints leading towards the roadway, like a way out, basically towards the east,” Kensler said.
Kensler doesn’t know what happened next, and with limited evidence, various possibilities are still on the table.
“The three big things that could happen is: he walked away, [he was] a victim of foul play or he passed away naturally, somehow, maybe in an accident,” said Kensler.
