On the evening of July 3, 2020, 38-year-old Jami Lyle Lucas was riding a motorcycle near Outing, Minnesota, when a law enforcement officer who knew Lucas’s driver’s license had been revoked attempted a traffic stop. Lucas fled, crashed his motorcycle in a ditch off Eastburn Drive at about 8:30 p.m., and ran into dense woods. The pursuing officer gave chase and called for him to stop, but Lucas disappeared from sight and has not been seen or heard from since.

Lucas is a white male, brown hair, blue eyes, 6 feet 4 inches tall and about 170 pounds. He was wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, boots, a baseball cap and a green bandana. Initial searches, including drone efforts, found nothing. He was on probation at the time and reportedly in good standing with his probation officer.

Differing accounts exist about how the stop began; official reports say a deputy recognized him, while the family was told an anonymous tip may have prompted the stop. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office reopened searches in May 2026 with about 105 volunteers using ATVs and conducting line searches near Eastburn Road NE, but those efforts also turned up nothing. The case remains open and the Sheriff’s Office asks anyone who was in the Eastburn Road area that night and saw anything unusual to come forward. Can anyone who was near Eastburn Road on July 3, 2020, or who remembers seeing Lucas afterward share information with investigators?
