In the late spring of 2019, 62-year-old Timothy Scott Strand was last seen on May 8th in St. Cloud, Minnesota. More than a month would pass before a concerned family member officially reported him missing to the Wright County Sheriff's Office on June 17, 2019. This concern was amplified by the uncharacteristic silence from Timothy, who typically maintained regular contact with his mother. His prolonged and unexplained absence was a significant cause for alarm among his loved ones.
At the time of his disappearance, Strand was living a transient lifestyle and did not have a permanent address, which added layers of complexity to understanding his last known movements.
The investigation into Timothy's whereabouts was handled by the Wright County Sheriff's Office. Over the years, efforts were made to locate him. At one point, investigators received information suggesting that Strand might have been residing in various shelters within the St. Cloud area. Acting on this lead, authorities conducted thorough checks of these locations, but unfortunately, their search did not yield any sign of him. Later information provided to law enforcement indicated that Strand may have been living in homeless encampments in and around St. Cloud. Despite these leads, Timothy Strand remained missing for several years, leaving his family with unanswered questions and a profound sense of uncertainty.
Regrettably, the search for Timothy Strand came to a sad conclusion in November 2025, when human remains were discovered in a wooded area in the 1500 block of East St. Germain Street in Minden Township. The location was noted to be near a known homeless encampment. The following month, the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office confirmed the remains belonged to Timothy Strand. This discovery officially closed his missing person case. The investigation into the cause and manner of his death remains open. The overview of this case begins with a son and brother last seen in St. Cloud, a subsequent missing person report prompted by his unusual lack of communication with family, and a years-long search that ended with the discovery of his remains in a wooded area, bringing a sorrowful end to his family's search.Last Seen: May 8, 2019
