Emily Rea, 33, of West Glacier, Montana, was last seen on July 16, 2024, after going paddleboarding alone at Hungry Horse Reservoir in Flathead County. Her last known communication came at 6:45 p.m. that day. Rea’s black Honda CR-V was located near Murray Bay Campground and her lime-green paddleboard was found overturned along the shore near Flossy Creek.

Searches have been extensive and remain active. The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office, North Valley Search and Rescue and Two Bear Air have been involved, with K9 teams, boat crews and sonar equipment also deployed. Rugged terrain and changing weather have complicated efforts. The community has organized fundraising and volunteer search teams, and the family has raised substantial funds to support unofficial searches.

Anyone with information about Emily’s movements on July 16 or who may have been at Hungry Horse Reservoir that evening is asked to contact the authorities; even small details could help bring her home safely.
