Authorities suspend ground search for northern Minnesota man missing for weeks
Authorities suspend ground search for northern Minnesota man missing for weeks originally appeared on Bring Me The News. The Cook County Sheriff's Office has suspended a ground search for a 40-year-old northern Minnesota man who's been missing since the beginning of July. Gene Doherty was last seen leaving his mother's home near Silver Bay on July 1. His vehicle, a 2009 Ford Edge, was found on July 11 on Brule Lake Road between Cascade Lake and Little Cascade Lake, part of the Superior National Forest. The sheriff's office says it's suspending the ground search for Doherty due to challenging terrain, limited resources, and a lack of results from search and rescue operations. For the past week, authorities have focused on the 451-acre Cascade Lake, where a detection dog pinpointed Doherty's scent at the public boat landing, with crews using boats and sonar to search the water and shoreline. 'We've had a great search and rescue group,' Cook County Sheriff Pat Eliasen told WTIP. "They give it everything." The sheriff's office plans to continue searching Cascade Lake every day until July 22. After that, crews will reassess and "maybe try something else," the sheriff told the Grand Marais-based radio station. "We're going to keep it up as long as we can, as long as resources hold out, and as long as we can get people to do it," Eliasen said. The Cook County Sheriff's Office, Cook County Search and Rescue, the U.S. Forest Service, and St. Louis County Search and Rescue have been assisting in the search and rescue effort. Anyone with information should contact the Lake County Sheriff's Office at 218-834-8385, or 911.

Minnesota Zoo euthanizes Amur tiger after cancer diagnosis
Minnesota Zoo euthanizes Amur tiger after cancer diagnosis originally appeared on Bring Me The News. The Minnesota Zoo is remembering its 13-year-old female Amur tiger who died over the weekend. Sundari, known as Dari, was euthanized on July 12 due to an aggressive and incurable form of cancer, according to a Thursday announcement. She was diagnosed with mesothelioma, which is known to occur in wild cats, including tigers. "Her death is a profound loss to the Minnesota Zoo community and tiger conservation efforts around the world," the zoo said in a news release. Dari was born at the Minnesota Zoo in June 2012. Visitors were able to watch Dari give birth to and care for six cubs over the years. She delivered her last litter, Amaliya and Andrei, in May 2024. Her older cubs are Vera, Brosno, Vostok and Yana. The zoo says Dari was a "remarkable mother" who loved and played fiercely. 'Dari was more than a tiger—she was a powerful ambassador for her species,' Minnesota Zoo Director John Frawley said in a statement. 'Her legacy lives on in her cubs and in the hearts she touched. Our team is grieving, but we remain committed to our mission: to connect people, animals, and the natural world to save wildlife.' The zoo calls Dari a "key contributor" to the Amur Tiger Species Survival Plan, a global conservation effort to ensure the species doesn't go extinct. Amur tigers are currently considered endangered, with an estimated 400 left in the wild. The species was on the brink of extinction roughly 80 years ago. The Minnesota Zoo has facilitated the births of 46 Amur tiger cubs since its 1978 opening in Apple Valley. Nearly half of those cubs later had their own litters, contributing a total of 86 Amur tigers to the species' population, according to the zoo.

Thick Canadian smoke engulfs Minnesota as air quality alert extends through Monday
Thick Canadian smoke engulfs Minnesota as air quality alert extends through Monday originally appeared on Bring Me The News. After a break of a few weeks — thanks to some rain in Canada and favorable upper- and lower-level winds — the Canadian wildfire smoke is back with a vengeance. The air quality index is in the RED category (unhealthy for all), sitting in the 150 to 200 range across the Twin Cities metro and much of the state early Saturday morning. Shortly after midnight Friday night, air quality rapidly declined in the Twin Cities — so you're waking up to that 'campfire' smell and haze Saturday morning. The smoke was visible on satellite imagery Friday as it moved into western Minnesota in the wake of a cold front. That front pushed wildfire smoke from the surface in Saskatchewan and Manitoba south and east into Minnesota over the past 24 hours. By early Saturday, the smoke appears as a gray haze across much of the state — in stark contrast to the brighter white, textured look of cloud cover: A statewide air quality alert remains in effect through early Monday. Everyone — including pets — should limit exposure, as the air is expected to remain unhealthy for all categories. Those with underlying conditions, especially respiratory issues, should be particularly cautious. The good news: If you have an N95 mask lying around, they work well to filter out wildfire smoke particles from the air you breathe. Just like in much of Minnesota, parts of Manitoba saw decent rains in late June, which helped at least control, if not suppress, some wildfires. That, along with more favorable weather patterns, kept the smoke mostly out of the state in recent weeks. But now, numerous large fires are once again burning across Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Here's a look at the areas burned as of Friday — shown as brown blotches scattered across Canada: A staggering portion of central and western Canada is experiencing at least moderate — if not severe — drought, according to Canada's latest drought monitor. There are even pockets of extreme drought along the Saskatchewan–Manitoba border. Despite the pleas of some absurd Republican lawmakers, Canada cannot just 'put out' all their fires. Canadian wildfires often burn in much more remote areas than those in places like California. If we really want to help Canada, we need to do more to combat climate change. While fires in the U.S. are typically human-caused, many of Canada's wildfires are sparked by 'dry' lightning. But the conditions that allow these fires to develop, spread, and persist — hotter, drier weather arriving earlier and lasting longer — are a direct result of a warming planet. Over the last 15 days, temperatures across central Canada have been running 8 to 15 degrees above normal — with little to no rainfall. In 2024, Canada saw average annual temperature anomalies of +8°F above normal — a staggering figure. For context, annual average temperature anomalies usually have a standard deviation of just 2 to 3°F. So +8°F is extreme. The past two years have been exceptionally warm and dry throughout central and western Canada. We're likely to see more thick smoke blowing in for midday and afternoon Saturday, with another batch arriving Sunday before clearing out Monday morning. Here's the HRRR (High-Resolution Rapid Refresh) model's smoke forecast through 1 a.m. Monday: We said this back in May: It's likely we'll be dealing with wildfire smoke on and off all summer and into the fall. This level of dryness and fire activity will take much of the autumn season to suppress. This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jul 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
