Peter Michael Martin, 31, was last seen on March 8, 2024, in the Mahnomen neighborhood of the Fond du Lac Reservation in Cloquet, Minnesota. He reportedly borrowed a small amount of money that day and messaged he was waiting for a ride to town to cash a check; that message is his last known communication. His mother of his child found his Rustic Lane home with the door open the next day and reported it.

Officers found the house damaged and bloodstained, with a smashed television, holes in the wall and both his driver’s license and tribal ID left behind. Some personal items were later recovered on Giiniwi Road: a black t-shirt and black sweatshirt with one of his iPhones in a pocket, and a black jacket with his other phone hanging from a tree. He is described as Native American, brown hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 10 inches, about 165 pounds, with tattoos on his chest and upper right arm and pierced ears; he may have been wearing a yellow jersey, light blue jeans, a black hat and possibly a black vest.

Multiple agencies are investigating and extensive ground searches over more than 150 miles of reservation terrain have been conducted. His family, who say they fear foul play, have held rallies to press for continued resources and attention. If anyone has information about Peter’s movements on or after March 8, please come forward.
