Dakota County Seeks Tips After Man Found Dead in Mississippi River

Investigators treating the death as very suspicious have opened a public tip line, declining to release further details to protect the family.

Overview

  • Authorities identified the decedent as 40-year-old Timothy Bryan Standish Jr., a Minneapolis resident found in the Mississippi River near Inver Grove Heights.
  • Detectives say the circumstances are "very suspicious" and the Dakota County Sheriff's Office has launched an active investigation.
  • The sheriff's office asks anyone who knew Standish or has information about his friends, associates or recent activities to call 651-438-8477 or submit a tip online.
  • Officials say Standish had not been reported missing before his body was found and that even small details could be crucial to the probe.
  • Local outlets report the office is withholding additional case details out of sensitivity to the family while investigators follow leads and collect tips.
