The Disappearance of William Hummelsund

William Hummelsund vanished during the early morning hours of January 26th, 2017. The 20-year-old was last seen leaving a family friend's home in Minneapolis, Minnesota. William never returned home and has never been seen or heard from again.

William's case is unfortunately one of many missing persons cases with very little coverage by the media. However, there has been a decent amount of discussion about his disappearance on social media. Over a week after his disappearance, a friend posted the following the William's Facebook page: "Don't know what's going on with you but I hope you come home safe and sound...Praying for you will." Over the next few months, various other people posted to William's page inquiring about his whereabouts. On his birthday that year, family members sent him well wishes and posted messages such as "I hope you are ok" and "praying for you". 

On October 7th, 2017, a friend wrote: "Come out of hiding you went missing on purpose I know this is you on Twitter." The same person also claimed to have found his Twitter account--though his has never been confirmed. 

In July 2018, the same person wrote: "I still can’t believe this shit cuz it’s been almost two years... where the fuck did he go ?!? 🙁." Another friend responded, stating, "Nobody knows except for the ones who was with him that’s why it’s not making any sense." This information has not been confirmed, as none of the media reports about William's disappearance mention that he was seen with anyone else on the morning of his disappearance. Still, these messages theorize that someone out there has information about William's disappearance but is not talking.

William remains missing today, and there have been very few updates in his case. Minneapolis authorities are investigating. If you have any information that could lead to William's whereabouts, please go here to submit an anonymous tip.
