A missed check-in. A phone that goes straight to voicemail. A room that’s suddenly, unbearably quiet.

In Montana, that nightmare is all too real for dozens of families still searching for answers, and for their children.

While it may seem like something that only happens in bigger cities, Montana is not immune to the heartbreak of missing kids.

In fact, despite our wide-open spaces and close-knit communities, the number of active missing child reports in the state is startling. Some of these children have been gone for just days. Others have been missing for months—years, even. And while law enforcement continues their work behind the scenes, it’s often a simple tip from someone in the public that leads to a breakthrough.

That’s where you come in.

Maybe you recognize a face. Maybe you remember someone who suddenly disappeared from your school, your town, or your neighborhood. Or maybe you've seen something that didn’t seem like a big deal at the time—but now feels like it could be connected.

Every set of eyes helps. Every share on social media, every flyer pinned to a bulletin board, every person who chooses not to look away can make a difference. Behind every photo is a family desperate for answers, and a child who deserves to come home.

Here’s a look at the current list of missing children in Montana.

If you’ve seen any of them—or know anything that might help—please let the respective police department know.
