Renee Christine Arcand, 36, was reported missing from a campsite on the Yellowstone River near the Intake Fishing Access Site, about sixteen miles north of Glendive, Montana. She had been traveling with a male companion and two dogs on June 27, 2023. The companion says he slept in their vehicle that night and awoke the next morning to find Renee gone; her personal belongings and the dogs were left at the campsite.

Accounts differ about the dogs: the companion reportedly found them in her car and they escaped when he opened the door, and one dog was later found roughly 15 miles from Glendive. Authorities searched the area and the river using search-and-rescue dogs, aircraft, infrared drones and downstream alerts; high, muddy river conditions limited sonar use. Searches paused for winter and resumed in April 2024, but no sign of Renee has been located.

Renee is described as white, 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, 130 to 150 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes and several distinctive tattoos including Muir on the inside of her right arm and This too will pass on her wrist. Investigators have considered that she may have fallen into the fast-flowing Yellowstone River, but there are no witnesses and the case remains unsolved. If anyone has information on Renee’s whereabouts, please contact the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office at 406-377-5291.
