Daniel Archie Oldbull was 15 years old when he was reported missing from Billings, Montana, on December 26, 2024. His case is documented in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as MP149636 and is being investigated by the Billings Police Department. As of this year, he is listed as 16 years old in state records.
State clearinghouse records describe Daniel as approximately 6 feet 1 inch tall and about 220 pounds, with brown eyes. He is identified as American Indian or Alaska Native. These identifiers help anchor searches and public awareness as time passes.
According to the NamUs case entry, Daniel was last known to have left on foot, with his direction of travel unknown. No vehicle, destination, or confirmed subsequent sightings were recorded in the public case summary, underscoring how little verified information has surfaced since he was first reported missing.
His case remains active in the Montana Missing Persons Database, which provides contact information for tips: Billings Police Department at 657-8461 or the Montana Missing Persons Clearinghouse at 444-2800. Keeping these channels open is crucial; even small pieces of information can help reconnect a teenager with his family.
Daniel’s disappearance also sits within a broader context. Montana maintains a Missing Indigenous Persons Task Force to strengthen coordination among tribal, local, state, and federal partners and to address the persistent disparities Indigenous families face when a loved one goes missing. Awareness of that larger effort matters, but so does the singular goal at the heart of this case: finding Daniel and ensuring he is safe.Last Seen: Dec 26, 2024
