Rickisha Renee Bear, known as Kisha, is a 19-year-old Indigenous woman last seen February 4, 2024, in Pablo, Montana. An enrolled member of the Chippewa Cree Indians of the Rocky Boy’s Reservation, she was visiting friends on the Flathead Indian Reservation and had expressed a desire to get help for substance abuse; a friend had scheduled an appointment that she left before attending. Her family reported her missing on March 26, 2024, after worrying because she had never before been gone this long.
Authorities have classified the case as endangered missing. Multiple agencies are involved, including Missoula PD, Chippewa Cree Law Enforcement Services, the Flathead Police Department, and the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators found a phone that may belong to her, buried in mud north of Columbia Falls, and it is being analyzed. Reported sightings in Great Falls and Billings have not been confirmed.
Rickisha is described as 4 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 0 inches tall, 120 to 140 pounds, with brown eyes and bright red–dyed hair showing dark roots. Distinguishing features include metal orthodontic braces, ear piercings, a silver stud in her right nostril, a Baby Girl tattoo on her upper left chest near the collarbone, and a tattoo on the right side of her neck. She has ties to Rocky Boy, Havre, Great Falls, and Billings.
If anyone saw Rickisha around February 4 or afterward, or has information about the phone found near Columbia Falls, please come forward.
