Irvin William Obrien, 42, was last heard from by family on or around April 25, 2019. At that time he lived in Grasston, Minnesota, and his last known location was believed to be in the vicinity of Braham. Authorities have not been able to determine whether he was traveling on foot or had access to a vehicle, which complicated early efforts to locate him.

Obrien is described as an American Indian or Alaska Native male, about 6 feet tall and 220 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The Pine County Sheriff’s Office opened a missing person investigation with assistance from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Community searches and social media efforts have taken place, but no significant leads have emerged and the case remains active.

If anyone has information about Irvin Obrien’s whereabouts or saw him in the Grasston or Braham area around late April 2019, please contact the Pine County Sheriff’s Office at 320-629-8380 or call 911.
