But across Montana, families are facing a painful, haunting reality—their sons and daughters are missing.

In a state known for its open skies and wide stretches of quiet land, these disappearances leave a deep void, not just for the families directly affected, but for entire communities who feel the ache of a child who has not come home.

The reasons a child goes missing are complex and varied.

Some leave without warning. Others are taken. Some become lost in the system, unnoticed and unheard. Regardless of the circumstances, the pain is the same—an unrelenting, unanswered question of where they are and whether they’re safe.

For each of these missing children, there are parents waking up every morning hoping today is the day they get a call, a lead, a sign.

There are siblings growing up with an empty seat at the dinner table. There are grandparents who go to sleep each night with prayers on their lips.

Raising awareness is not about reopening wounds, it’s about keeping hope alive. Sharing their names, faces, and stories may seem small, but it’s one of the most powerful tools we have.

Someone, somewhere, might know something. A memory might be jogged. A photo might ring a bell. These children are not forgotten, and their stories deserve to be seen.

The list you’re about to see includes 27 children from Montana who are currently missing. Each name is a life full of dreams, a family longing for answers, and a community that must not look away.
