It has been a week and police in Pequot Lakes, Minn., are now turning to the public for clues into what they are classifying as a suspicious death of a onetime Twin Cities man found in his parked vehicle.

Kurt J. Streiff, 51, of Pequot Lakes, was found dead Sept. 18 in his vehicle along Lilac Drive north of Royce Street. Officers had received a call of someone slumped over in a maroon 1998 Dodge Caravan, police said Tuesday.

"There are indications that concern us enough to call it suspicious at this point," read a statement from police in the Crow Wing County community roughly 20 miles north of Brainerd.

Streiff lived in several Twin Cities cities over the years as far back as 1988 and as recently as 2010, including Golden Valley, Hopkins, Rosemount and Burnsville, according to public records.

Police ask anyone with information about Streiff or his vehicle to contact them at 218-568-8111.
