Frances Collier Ewalt was 24 and living in Forsyth, Montana, when she was last seen on August 19, 1973. That night she was at the Agate Bar on Main Street around 11 p.m. with a female friend, left saying she was going to meet her brother who was a nightclub musician, and never arrived. Her car, purse and a paycheck were left behind, and she did not access bank accounts or a trust fund after her disappearance.

At the time Frances was working as a cocktail waitress at the Century Club and was in the middle of a divorce. Her three sons were at home; family members say it was highly unusual for her to leave them without notice, and they have long suspected foul play. The Rosebud County Sheriff’s Office currently lists her as a missing person and investigators have found little evidence of her whereabouts.

Does anyone who lived in Forsyth in 1973 or who knew Frances or her brother have information that could help resolve what happened to her?
