ZACHARY ZEISEMER - 16 yo - Williston ND

A Williston boy has now been missing for more than three weeks.

Zachary Zeisemer, 16, was last seen on September 24. Police are
continuing their search, but are looking for the public`s help in
locating him.

Zeisemer is six feet tall and weighs 185 pounds. He was last seen
wearing black jeans and a black t-shirt, although authorities say it`s
unlikely he would still be wearing that same outfit.

If you have any information on his whereabouts, call the police at 577-1212 or Crime Stoppers at 572-TIPS.

A Williston teen is still missing after a month and police are asking
anyone with information on his whereabouts to immediately contact law
enforcement.

Zach Ziesemer, 16, was reported missing after not returning home on the evening of Sept. 24.

Shortly
after, police received a tip that he may have been staying at a local
residence, but upon further investigation the lead was found to be
false.

Ziesemer, who is described as 6 feet tall and weighing
185 pounds, was last seen wearing a pair of black jeans and a black
T-shirt. He has brown hair, but got a buzz haircut shortly before he
was last seen.
Lt. Det. Mark Hanson of the Williston Police
Department said the department has not received any information about
Ziesemer since the one false lead it received in early October. "It is
currently an open case, we're always looking for information," said
Hanson.

Hanson
said the department is hoping Ziesemer may still be in the area, but
with more than a month having gone by, there is a possibility he is no
longer in the area.

"You never really give up on looking for a missing child, they never go away and we don't give up," said Hanson.

Hanson said if Ziesemer isn't located in a reasonable amount of time, the department has to try and broaden its search.

Another
important part of continuing the search for Ziesemer is entering his
information into the National Crime Information Center database. Hanson
said the NCIC is a computerized index of criminal justice information
that is available to federal, state and local law enforcement. Law
enforcement can access this information to get quick disclosure of
information when looking for criminals and missing individuals.

Hanson said having that information in the system helps in locating Ziesemer if he is found somewhere by other law enforcement.

"If
he were stopped somewhere, if he were pulled over or something, they'd
be able to run his information and they'd know he's missing from
Williston, N.D.," said Hanson.

Until then, Hanson said the department is waiting for any information and is ready to move on any leads it receives.

"We're just looking for a lucky break," he said.

Anyone
with information on the whereabouts of Ziesemer is asked to contact the
Williston Police Department immediately at 701-577-1212.

A Williston teenager who had been missing for more than a month
was located Wednesday afternoon.

Zach Ziesemer, 16, was located at a residence a few miles north of Williston. A tip was received by the
Williston Police Department Wednesday afternoon from an area resident
and the department immediately acted upon the tip.

Lt. Det. Mark Hanson of the Williston Police Department said Ziesemer was OK when they
located him and he was returned to his home. Ziesemer also was reported
missing this past June.

Hanson said the department hadn't yet visited with Ziesemer about what caused him to run away from home the
evening of Sept. 24, but it is doing so on Thursday.

Hanson expressed thanks to the resident who provided the tip that aided in
finally locating Ziesemer, as well as the public for its concern.

He also thanked the local media for covering the story regarding
Ziesemer's disappearance.
