No trace of Bemidji man missing since October

January 9, 2013 at 1:44AM

For more than two and a half months, no one has seen or heard from 31-year-old Michael Pulis of Bemidji, Minn.

Authorities said Monday in a crime alert issued by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension that they've detected no use of Pulis' cell phone and other electronic media devices. His bank account has sat dormant, they added.

Pulis was last seen outside Toastie's bar in downtown Bemidji in the early-morning hours of Oct. 20, according to the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office. He doesn't own a car or even drive, the Sheriff's Office added.

A Facebook page set up by the family says that Pulis was at the Hard Times bar earlier that night celebrating a co-worker's birthday with several people. Pulis worked at the McDonald's on the west side of Bemidji.

Pulis is described as white, 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 165 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes. He could be wearing a dark blue zip-up hooded sweatshirt.

Anyone with information about Pulis' whereabout is urged to call the Sheriff's Office at 1-218-333-9111.
