Beltrami County Sheriff's Office Seeks Help Locating Missing Bemidji Man

The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public for help locating 31-year-old Corey Adam Bryant, who was last seen in the city of Bemidji on Dec. 19, 2025 and who communicated with family in January 2026. Anyone with information about Bryant’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office at 218-333-9111.

Bryant is described by law enforcement as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing approximately 200 pounds with blue eyes. A photo published by local outlets is credited “Courtesy: Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office,” indicating the image was provided by the sheriff’s office for identification purposes.

The sheriff’s office has “investigated and followed up on several leads but have not been able to make contact with Bryant,” a department release states. Investigative Sgt. Robert Billings confirmed that “the case remains open and active,” and deputies continue routine follow-up work on tips and leads submitted to the tip line.

Authorities have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding Bryant’s disappearance, and “it is unclear where he may have traveled after last being seen in Bemidji,” law enforcement sources noted. The department’s public release lists the last confirmed sighting in Bemidji on Dec. 19, 2025 and indicates family contact occurred in January 2026; some reports describe that contact as “late January” or “end of January,” but the consistent timeframe across statements is January 2026.

Local reporting has carried the sheriff’s office request and the posted photo supplied by the department; the Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office remains the primary contact for anyone with relevant information. Call 218-333-9111 to provide tips or details about Corey Adam Bryant’s last known movements or sightings in Bemidji and the surrounding Beltrami County area.

Investigators have not announced a case number, vehicle information, last-known clothing, or any indicators of suspected foul play. Investigative Sgt. Robert Billings’ confirmation that the investigation is ongoing underscores that the sheriff’s office continues to seek community assistance in resolving Bryant’s whereabouts.
