A former county prosecutor says he may have some clues into the disappearance of an Otter Tail County man.
Former prosecutor Earle “Bud” Myers and his dog Barnaby are helping in the search of 33 year old Scott Burris who has been missing for more than a week.
On Monday, Myers and Barnaby were called in to search for Scott Burris, an Ottertail, Minnesota man who’s been missing for a week.

While searching the area around Burris’ abandoned van, Barnaby detected Burris’s trail.
“We ran the trail a second and a third time,” Myers said. “[He] always did exactly the same trail.”
The third time though, Barnaby sat down at the end of the trail meaning he lost Burris’ scent. It happened to end right near a road.
“We surmise that somebody had picked up Mr. Burris,” Myers said.
This new theory marks another twist in the Burris case. He was last seen in Fergus Falls on May 22nd.
His father, who talked with Fox News earlier this week, said he last spoke to his son the same day he was last seen.
However, finding Scott Burris trail has been difficult because the trail is nine days old.
In those nine days, Scott Burris’s scent could easily have disappeared or mixed in with other scents, which makes it remarkable that Barnaby even found a trail.
Despite finding a trail, Myers emphasizes that his theory on what happened to Burris is just a theory.
“It’s our best guesstimate really that he got in a vehicle and left the area,” Myers said.
Even with a talented bloodhound, the whereabouts of Scott Burris are still unknown.
Myers is a member of Valley Water Rescue, which assists in missing persons cases.
