According to a statement from the Todd County Sheriff’s Office released Sunday: Authorities received a report of a missing man at 11:23 a.m. Saturday. Friends of Jared Wallenfelsz said they had last seen him driving a snowmobile away from his family’s cabin on Long Lake about 1:30 a.m. that morning. Deputies went to the scene and searched the area using snowmobiles. At 12:43 p.m., deputies found Wallenfelsz and his crashed snowmobile on a wooded lot on the northwest side of the lake.
