Jessie Dale Stansberry was reported missing from Idaho County, Idaho, after he was last seen on July 12, 2022. He is listed as a 21-year-old white male, 5 feet 8 inches, about 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and wears prescription eyeglasses. He was reported to have been wearing beige shorts when last seen.

Known circumstances place Jessie in the vicinity of Polly Bemis Ranch along the Salmon River, roughly 30 miles east of Riggins. Authorities received a call that a person had been in the water for more than 30 minutes and could not be found near the ranch. The area is remote, rugged, and river-adjacent, which made the search urgent and difficult.

County search crews, the Salmon River Dive Team, and a helicopter crew searched along the riverbanks in the days immediately after the report but did not locate him. Authorities believed he may have drowned in the Salmon River, but no body has been found and few details have been released publicly. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Idaho County Sheriff’s Office at 208-983-1100.

Did anyone who was near Polly Bemis Ranch on or around July 12, 2022, see Jessie or notice anything unusual along the river?
