“That afternoon, investigators conducted an extensive search of the home, property, and surrounding area on foot and by air, utilizing canines, drones, and helicopters,” the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office said in a Thursday statement.

Investigators carried out a search warrant Wednesday at Anderson’s 42-year-old boyfriend’s residence in Randolph, which was a place that Anderson spent time, but she wasn’t found.

The boyfriend had a probation violation warrant from Le Sueur County. He wasn’t home when deputies executed the search warrant, but turned himself in at the home soon after and he was arrested on the warrant. Deputies questioned him about Anderson’s disappearance, according to the sheriff’s office.

He was booked into the Dakota County jail and will be released to Le Sueur County on his warrant, the sheriff’s office said, noting that he is not being held related to Anderson’s disappearance.

“We continue our exhaustive efforts to locate Ms. Anderson,” the sheriff’s office statement said.

They’re asking anyone with information to contact them at 651-438-TIPS or crimeandwarranttips@co.dakota.mn.us.
