Frank Brown, 31, was last seen leaving his girlfriend's home in Nay-tah-waush, 18 miles east of Mahnomen in early October. His body was found two weeks later a short distance from where searchers located his car near Nay-tah-waush. Early last month, Dennis Lang, Junior, 23, was reported missing. His body was found in a field 12 miles east of Mahnomen, Almost two weeks after he was seen leaving a Mahnomen bar.
