Reward offered for NW MN murder suspect

Police in northwestern Minnesota continue to search for a man in connection with a homicide.  A federal arrest warrant has been issued for 44-year-old Erik Reinbold in connection with the death of his wife – Lissette Reinbold – in rural Pennington County on Friday.  The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $10,000 dollars for information leading to his apprehension.

A federal jury in Fergus Falls in 2018 found Reinbold guilty of possessing pipe bombs at his cabin near Oklee.  He was sentenced to five years in prison. Investigators found a notebook in his desk detailing how to survive in the wilderness, build bombs and identify enemies.  He also pleaded guilty in a 2015 case where he rammed his truck into a car with his wife and children inside.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office at (218) 681-6161, the U.S. Marshals at 1-877-WANTED, or use the USMS Tips app.
