Amy Marie Johnson was 24 when she vanished from Livingston, Montana, on May 22, 1986. A mother and member of the Chippewa Cree Indians of the Rocky Boy’s Reservation, she left her apartment that day after telling her roommate she would be gone for a couple of hours. She departed leaving behind an infant daughter, all of her personal belongings and an uncashed check, and never returned.

Witness accounts reported she was seen with a former boyfriend the evening she disappeared; he told investigators they drove around and he dropped her off in downtown Livingston. A possible sighting six days later at a bar in Gardiner, about fifty miles south, was reported but never confirmed. At the time she went missing she was described as 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 5 inches, 140 to 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, wearing blue jeans and tennis shoes.

The Park County Sheriff’s Office treats the case as a missing person investigation but describes it as suspected foul play and says they have a person of interest without sufficient evidence to arrest. The disappearance remains a painful loss for her family and part of the wider crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People. If anyone knew Amy, saw her that week in May 1986, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
