Body Found In Benton County Identified As Missing St. Cloud Man

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Authorities say the body found in Benton County is that of a missing St. Cloud man.

An acquaintance first reported 22-year-old Seth Taylor Juedes missing on Tuesday, saying they hadn't seen him since he went out with friends the prior evening. Benton County Sheriff's investigators determined he was last seen on foot just after 2 a.m. in a Sauk Rapids parking lot that night.

On Wednesday just before 11 a.m., authorities say a St. Cloud investigator searching for Juedes discovered a body in the ditch near the intersection of County Road 33 and Highway 10 in Benton County. It was later identified as Juedes, though toxicology reports and a cause of death have yet to be determined.

The St. Cloud Police Department and Benton County Sheriff's office are still investigating the death.
