Matthew Ryan Kalange, 25, was last seen in Missoula, Montana, on August 16, 2021. His gold Lexus with Idaho plate 1A 382FD was later found abandoned on eastbound Highway 200 at mile marker 53 near Ovando in Powell County. The car had run out of gas and a note on the windshield said RAN OUT OF GAS PLEASE DO NOT TOW! God Bless, Matt.

The vehicle was left in a remote stretch between Browns Lake and the Highway 141 junction, an area of vast wilderness with limited cell service. Matthew did not have his wallet or cell phone when he disappeared, and it’s believed he may have begun walking toward Ovando, Lincoln, or Helmville to get fuel. Extensive ground and aerial searches by law enforcement and community volunteers turned up no trace.

Matthew is described as Caucasian, shaved brown hair, blue eyes, 6 feet tall, about 175–180 pounds. His family and friends continue to seek answers. If anyone has information about Matthew Kalange’s whereabouts, please contact the Missoula Police Department or the Powell County Sheriff’s Office.
