Brandon Lamont Brownlee, 43, of Missoula, Montana, was last seen on June 15, 2018. He left his residence in the early morning hours, about 3:00 a.m., reportedly heading for the Bob Marshall Wilderness. His last known location was a trailhead near Ovando, where his vehicle was later found abandoned with one window broken out.

Investigators confirmed Brandon’s cell phone was in the area when he disappeared. He may have been wearing camouflage-print hunting clothes and carrying a gray frame backpack. Searchers focused on the Jenny Creek Trail toward its junction with Young’s Creek, but his trail went cold there and the difficult terrain hampered search efforts.

The Missoula County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate and the case remains unsolved. If anyone was in the Ovando or Jenny Creek area on or around June 15, 2018, or has information about Brandon’s movements that morning, please come forward.
