Scott Anthony Gilchrist, a 35-year-old resident of Breckenridge, Colorado, disappeared under unsettling circumstances in the autumn of 1999. The last known communication from Scott was a postcard he mailed to his family from Missoula, Montana, on October 22, 1999. After this final message, all contact with him ceased, and he has not been seen or heard from since. Concern for his welfare grew, leading to a missing persons report being filed with the Missoula Police Department.
The case has left his family with unanswered questions for decades, as very few details surrounding the circumstances of his disappearance have ever come to light.
The investigation into Scott's disappearance yielded one significant but troubling discovery: his vehicle was found abandoned in Missoula. The car was located at the intersection of Blaine and Tremont, but this finding provided no further clues as to Scott's whereabouts or what might have happened to him. At the time he went missing, Scott was described as a White male, standing between 6'4" and 6'5" tall, and weighing approximately 155 to 160 pounds. He had blond or strawberry blond hair, hazel eyes, and was known to wear eyeglasses. These distinguishing features, along with his physical description, were circulated in hopes that someone might come forward with information.
Despite the passage of time, the case of Scott Gilchrist officially remains an unsolved endangered missing person case. Authorities with the Missoula Police Department have been the primary agency handling the investigation from the beginning. Over the years, his case has been featured on various platforms dedicated to missing persons, including the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System in an ongoing effort to generate new leads that might finally provide a resolution. The lack of available information has made the investigation particularly challenging, leaving a painful void for all who knew and cared for him.Last Seen: Oct 22, 1999
