A male, Nickolaus Jon Edwards, age 40, was reported missing from Libby, Montana in mid‑July 2024. Prior to his disappearance, in early 2024 he had been arrested and charged with two felony counts of criminal possession of dangerous drugs—specifically fentanyl and methamphetamine—as well as a misdemeanor count for possession of drug paraphernalia. At arrest, law enforcement recovered multiple bags of suspected methamphetamine and five blue fentanyl pills, and bail was set at $10,000.
At the time of his disappearance, Edward’s physical descriptors included brown hair, hazel eyes, a height ranging between approximately 5 ft 5 in and 5 ft 11 in, and a weight between roughly 120 and 160 pounds. The case was managed by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, under case number 24LPD1266; the report was entered in mid‑August 2024, with the latest case file update in mid‑July 2025.
According to official records from a federal missing‑persons database, the date of last contact corresponds with the mid‑July disappearance.
Subsequently, Edwards was located. The precise timing or location of his recovery remains unspecified in publicly available records. The circumstances surrounding how he was found, his condition at the time of location, and whether his case is now considered resolved have not been detailed in accessible sources.
