On January 23, 2024, at 6:03am, Gallatin County 911 received a call for a missing juvenile near the Forest Park trailer court. The parents suspected the juvenile had left the residence at approximately 5:00am.

Gallatin County Sheriff’s Deputies and Search and Rescue volunteers responded to the scene to conduct an urban search. Search and Rescue volunteers found the missing juvenile and they were returned safely to their family.

Sheriff Springer would like to remind families that despite what you may have seen in TV shows and movies, there is no waiting limit before a missing person can be reported.  In fact, it is best to report missing persons as soon as you realize they are missing, as this greatly increases the chances of successfully locating them.
