Body Recovered in Search for Missing Cloquet Couple

CLOQUET, Minn. — A body was found near a vehicle linked to a missing Cloquet couple, as the search continues for the second person more than a month after their disappearance.

Daniel Latterel and Jane Korpela were reported missing in late May. On June 29, authorities in Aitkin County located Latterel’s SUV in a remote, wooded area about two miles north of Aitkin.

Near the vehicle, investigators discovered a body believed to be 62-year-old Jane Korpela. The Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office is working to confirm the identity.

Latterel remains missing.

Search efforts resumed the next day, with K-9 teams, drones, and ground crews deployed to the area. Some of Latterel’s clothing was recovered during the search, but there’s still no sign of him.

Anyone with information about Daniel Latterel’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Cloquet Police Department at 218-879-1247.
