“The FBI Minneapolis Division is honored to have joined our law enforcement partners in the ongoing effort to recover Manny Collins,” said Alvin M. Winston Sr., special agent in charge of the FBI Minneapolis Field Office. “In response to a request for assistance from the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office, FBI Minneapolis deployed our highly trained Evidence Response Team, along with the FBI’s Laboratory Evidence Response Team Unit and the Technical Hazardous Response Unit from Quantico, VA. Both units are expertly trained in ensuring safety at complex crime scenes.

"This collaborative effort underscores our deep commitment and unity in the mission to recover Manny. The coordination and resource sharing among all agencies and volunteers have been crucial to finding Manny.

"The FBI extends its heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Manny Collins during this difficult time. We remain dedicated to pursuing justice and will continue to work closely with our partners to ensure that the truth is uncovered and that justice is served.”
