Over the past several years there has been an increased look under the microscope of missing people across Montana. Especially with indigenous people. And even more so, for teenagers.

Montana Missing Person Database Helping Find Those Missing

In 2021, Attorney General Austin Knudsen established an enhanced online Montana Missing Person Database to help law enforcement and the public to aid in finding missing Montana individuals.

The MDOJ also operates the Montana Missing Persons Clearing House, which operates closely with National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The MDOJ also works with other state clearing houses to aid in locating children who have been unlawfully taken out of Montana or brought into Montana.
