Monte James Swanson, 24, was last heard from on September 15, 2014, after leaving Missoula, Montana, at the end of July that year. Family contact that month came from Shreveport, Louisiana; no one has reported seeing or hearing from him since that September communication.

He was described as a White/Caucasian male, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches, 220 to 280 pounds, with blond or strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. He was known to sometimes frequent transient and homeless camps. It was thought he might have been traveling to Maine or Mississippi, but his exact destination and last known location remain unclear. Later reporting says he may have left Missoula with a man named Kevin Lino; there is speculation Swanson may have died sometime after leaving Missoula and before Lino’s arrest in Louisiana. The Missoula Police Department is listed as the investigating agency.

Does anyone have information about Monte’s movements after September 15, 2014, or recall seeing him in Shreveport or along routes to Maine or Mississippi?
