Three-year-old Arden Pepion was last seen on April 22, 2021, near her home in the Joe Show East area south of Browning, Montana, on the Blackfeet Reservation. She was reportedly playing in the yard with two siblings while their mother was inside; when the mother checked on them, Arden was gone. The terrain around the home is rugged, with streams, ponds and wooded areas, and is known to be inhabited by bears and mountain lions.

At the time of her disappearance Arden was described as American Indian/Alaska Native, brown hair, brown eyes, about 3 feet tall and 31 pounds. She was wearing a purple jacket with a unicorn, a gray sweater, black leggings and black boots. An extensive search with volunteers and multiple agencies — including Blackfeet Tribal Law Enforcement, the FBI and the Glacier County Sheriff’s Office — used ground teams, canine units, helicopters and drones but turned up no trace. The large-scale search was later scaled back, though family and community members have continued organized searches and law enforcement says the investigation remains open.

If anyone in the Joe Show East area remembers seeing Arden on April 22, 2021, or has information that could help locate her, please come forward.
