Daryl Richard Budenski, 71 and known as Dice, was last seen the afternoon of Friday, October 1, 2021, walking near his apartment on Koester Court in Northfield, Minnesota. He didn’t show up for work at the Northfield Eagles Club that evening, missed work again on October 3, and failed to pick up his last paycheck—unusual behavior for someone described as dependable.

His cell phone remained in his apartment. Over the weekend his wallet (a money clip holding credit cards and business cards but no cash) and a baseball cap were found in a ditch off Division Street and Jefferson Parkway. His bicycle was at home, so he was likely on foot when he disappeared. Early reports saying he had dementia were later questioned.

The community organized searches, rallies and a Facebook page; volunteers, police-guided searches, drones and tips — including possible Midwest sightings — have not produced a confirmed lead. The investigation remains open with the Northfield Police Department. If anyone knew Daryl’s routines, places he visited, or saw him around October 1, 2021, please come forward with information.
