BEMIDJI, Beltrami County, MN \u2013 (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Human remains discovered in a wooded area northwest of Bemidji have been identified as missing Beltrami County man Corey Adam Bryant.<\/p>\n

Bryant had been missing since December 2025, prompting months of searches by law enforcement and family members.<\/p>\n

The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the recovery following a hunter’s discovery on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.<\/p>\n

Hunter Discovers Human Remains Near Highway 89<\/h2>\n

According to the sheriff’s office, the Beltrami County Emergency Communications Center received a report around 7 p.m. Wednesday.<\/p>\n

A hunter reported finding what appeared to be human remains in a wooded area northwest of Bemidji.<\/p>\n

The discovery occurred near Minnesota Highway 89 and Mayflower Road NW in the Eckles Township area.<\/p>\n

Deputies responded to the location and secured the scene to preserve possible evidence.<\/p>\n

Investigators from the Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office processed the area with assistance from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.<\/p>\n

The remains were transported to the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office for further examination.<\/p>\n

Missing Man Identified as Corey Adam Bryant<\/h2>\n

Authorities identified the deceased as Corey Adam Bryant<\/strong>, a Beltrami County man reported missing in 2025.<\/p>\n

Bryant was 31 when he was initially reported missing.<\/p>\n

According to the sheriff’s office, Bryant was last seen in Bemidji on December 19, 2025.<\/p>\n

His disappearance prompted an extensive investigation involving law enforcement, family members, and community search efforts.<\/p>\n

Despite numerous searches and investigative leads, authorities were unable to determine his location.<\/p>\n

Vehicle Found Months Before Recovery<\/h2>\n

The sheriff’s office said Bryant’s vehicle was discovered in February 2026.<\/p>\n

However, investigators found no sign of Bryant during that discovery.<\/p>\n

Search efforts continued as family members and authorities worked to determine what happened to him.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the sheriff’s office again highlighted Bryant’s disappearance while asking hunters to watch for evidence in wooded areas.<\/p>\n

That public appeal came shortly before the discovery of his remains.<\/p>\n

Autopsy Results Pending as Investigation Continues<\/h2>\n

The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the investigation into Bryant’s death remains active.<\/p>\n

Autopsy results from the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office are still pending.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not publicly released a cause or manner of death.<\/p>\n

The sheriff’s office has not announced whether foul play is suspected.<\/p>\n

Investigators have not provided additional details about how Bryant may have reached the wooded area where his remains were discovered.<\/p>\n

Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office Continues Investigation<\/h2>\n

The recovery brings an important development in a missing-person investigation that lasted nearly 11 months.<\/p>\n

However, questions surrounding Bryant’s disappearance and death remain unanswered.<\/p>\n
