UPDATE: Search for missing 20-year-old Renzo Bullhead intensifies
The Mandan Police Department is seeking assistance in locating 20-year-old Renzo Bullhead, who has been missing since March 16, 2025. Renzo was last seen walking east on the railroad bridge connecting Mandan and Bismarck around 8 p.m. Sunday. Surveillance footage shows him entering the bridge from the east side, but it does not show him exiting the east side or returning to the west side.
Renzo is described as having black hair, brown eyes, standing 5 feet 11 inches tall, and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing a puffy black jacket, white and black checkered sweatpants, and white and red Jordan basketball shoes.
Search efforts have expanded, with additional resources like watercraft and drones. Due to limited staff on Friday, the search headquarters will be moved to United Tribes Technical College, Building #15, with a briefing at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, March 21. Volunteers are encouraged to gather for prayer and instructions.
Community members are urged to help with the search. Anyone with information regarding Renzo’s whereabouts should contact the Mandan Police Department at (701) 667-3250. Your volunteer help is important in these expanded efforts.
