Nathaniel Edison Williams, 21, a University of Minnesota, Morris student and avid outdoorsman, was last seen September 28, 2004. He told his roommate he was heading to the Two Harbors area for a fishing and hunting trip and planned to return by October 10. He left with two fishing rods, a shotgun, and a blue down comforter.

Nathaniel’s teal and white 1966 Ford F-150 was found two days later on Kawishiwi Lake Road near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Lake County, Minnesota. The truck was low on gas and Nathaniel and his gear were missing. Multiple agencies conducted a thorough search of the surrounding area, including cadaver dogs, but no trace was found. Authorities have reported no evidence of foul play or suicide, and the case remains unsolved and under investigation by the Morris Police Department and the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

If anyone knew Nathaniel, saw his truck near the Boundary Waters around late September 2004, or has information about his planned trip, please share what you know.
