Renville Co. Authorities Seeking Info On Man's Death, Disappearance

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Renville County Sheriff's Office is seeking information about the death of a Cosmos man who disappeared about a year ago and whose body was found, months later, in a cornfield.

Robert Verdon left his home early last September to visit an acquaintance in a nearby city. However, Verdon never made it to his destination, and his car was found in rural Renville County.

His body was not found until October; it was in a cornfield in Brookfield Township, which is southeast of Cosmos.

Crime Stoppers is offering a reward to anyone with information surrounding Verdon's death.

If you know anything, call 320-523-1161. You can also report anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-720-3780. You can also report a crime via the sheriff's office's website.
