David Storbakken, a 41-year-old member of the Leech Lake and Mille Lacs tribes, was last seen on May 11, 2025. His sister last spoke with him on May 6, 2025 while he was on a bus from Duluth to the Twin Cities. He was reportedly seen at a Speedway gas station in Roseville, Minnesota, about 3:00 a.m. on May 11. On May 10 he purchased a headlamp and batteries at a Menard’s in West St. Paul, and his family believes he was trying to reach his sister’s house.

David is a Native American man, 6 feet tall, about 120 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes and a faded eagle tattoo on one hand. When last seen he wore a gray sweatshirt and white pants. He had recently had eight fingers amputated for severe frostbite, is diabetic, was unhoused but often stayed with family or at shelters, and was reportedly sober when he disappeared. His known travel areas include Duluth, Bemidji, St. Paul, and Minneapolis.

The Saint Paul Police Department is investigating. Family members have canvassed neighborhoods, posted flyers, checked home-security footage in wooded areas, reported tips, and hired private investigators. The family says his lack of contact is uncharacteristic and hopes someone with information will come forward. Does anyone in Duluth, St. Paul, Roseville or along his route remember seeing David around May 10–11?
