Pamela Dawn Phillips, a 48-year-old Native American woman, was last seen in Charlotte, North Carolina, on September 29, 2023. Descriptions list brown hair and brown eyes, with height reported between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 8 inches and weight reported between 110 and 220 pounds. She has pierced ears and a tattoo of the name Keith on her right breast.

Investigative oversight in this case is unusual: the Flathead Tribal Police in Montana are handling the disappearance. No public explanation has been provided for why a Montana tribal agency is leading an investigation into someone last seen in Charlotte, and that gap remains a central unanswered question.

Anyone who knew Pamela, saw her around late September 2023, or has information about why the Flathead Tribal Police became involved is asked to come forward with details. Who can help fill in what happened after September 29, 2023?
