The body of Rev. Berner Nyjordet, 43, pastor at Silver Lake Lutheran Church, was found near Albert Lea Lake five miles east of town. Blood-stained car, gun slug, and signs of foul play prompted police to treat the disappearance as a possible murder.

Authorities searched a game refuge and a roadside area where drag marks were reported. The case remains under investigation by Minnesota and Iowa police.
