Megan Ginevicz was two years old when she disappeared from the family’s rural property in St. Ignatius, Montana, on April 30, 1980. That afternoon she was playing outside in an unfenced yard with her brother while her mother worked inside. When the mother checked on her, Megan was gone, prompting an extensive search of the area.

Searchers considered several possibilities: that Megan wandered off and drowned in a nearby stream, that she was taken by a wild animal in a region known to have grizzly bears, or that she had been abducted. The search was hampered by rain and snow that continued for ten days after her disappearance, and no trace of her was ever found. Her disappearance is classified as a non-family abduction; Megan’s father believed abduction was possible but authorities never confirmed that theory.

Anyone who knew the Ginevicz family or has information about that day is asked to come forward.
