William Thomas Ukiah Duncan was 37 when he was last seen on May 27, 2012, near Dry Creek in Anaconda, Montana. He had been living in Billings after moving from Anaconda and was described by friends and family as an experienced outdoorsman and survivalist who sometimes spent months in the mountains. Normally he told loved ones his plans before leaving, but on this trip he left no note and did not say where he was going.

His family reported him missing on June 19, 2012, after not hearing from him for several weeks. By then his truck had been found abandoned on Dry Creek Road, past the Mount Haggin Wildlife Management area off Mill Creek Road, and had apparently been there at least three weeks. His cell phone was not in the truck and has not been answered since he was last seen. Extensive searches of the rugged terrain where the vehicle was located turned up no trace of William.

Investigators consider his unexplained departure from his usual practice and the abandoned vehicle suspicious, and the case remains open with the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Law Enforcement Agency. If anyone knew William’s likely routes, camping spots, or movements around Dry Creek in late May 2012, can you share what you remember?
