James Limberhand, 32 years old at the time, was last seen on August 6, 2014, near the Two Leggins River in Big Horn County, Montana, close to Crow Agency. He had been swimming with three friends in the river, a location known for its deep and fast-moving water. Despite not knowing how to swim, James entered the water, and his companions later reported that they did not see him exit. After stepping away for a short time, they returned to find James missing.
Extensive search and rescue efforts, which included the involvement of family, local volunteers, and various law enforcement agencies, were unsuccessful in locating him.
Given the dangerous conditions of the river that day, it is presumed that he drowned, though his body has never been recovered.
Limberhand’s case remains open, and authorities continue to seek information about his disappearance. Despite the assumption of drowning, the lack of a body leaves unanswered questions for his family, who continue to hope for closure. His case is part of the larger issue surrounding missing Indigenous people in the region.Last Seen: Aug 7, 2014
