About 2:30 a.m., according to the Pioneer Press, he told friends on the phone: "Oh, my God. Where are you? Help," and the phone went dead. He'd been drinking but shouldn't have been because he has Type 1 diabetes, friends and family told the Star Tribune. WCCO-TV reported that the family from the Iron Range drove down Sunday to help in the search for the young Eveleth man. KSTP-TV notes a State Patrol helicopter made low passes along the river searching for signs of Zamlen." https://www.minnpost.com/dailyglean/2009/04/06/7870/daily_glean_family_ballots_microcosm_of_absentee_voting_problems
