On October 15, 1992, 18-year-old James Jamie Tennison disappeared during a hunting trip in Savanna State Forest, about three miles south and six miles in on Hedbom Forest Road in Aitkin County, Minnesota. He became separated from his father and a friend and was last seen wearing ripstop camouflage pants, a lightweight green camouflage jacket with a vest, a red-and-blue flannel shirt, and a Los Angeles Kings ball cap. He was carrying a brand-new Remington 870 Express 12-gauge shotgun.

Family, friends, co-workers and volunteers conducted an extensive 10-day ground search of the swampy, timber-filled forest and floating bogs using dogs, horses and helicopters. Jamie’s father, Jim Tennison, has said the Aitkin County Sheriff’s Office did not organize or take part in the ground searches. No clothing, equipment or other physical trace of Jamie was recovered; his case is officially listed as Lost/Injured Missing. He is described as a white male, blond hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 9 inches, 120 pounds, with a scar near his right eye.

Decades have passed with no confirmed sign of Jamie and no clear explanation for where he went or why all of his belongings were never found. If anyone was in the Savanna State Forest on October 15, 1992, or has information about Jamie’s movements that day, please come forward.
