Allan Preston Sloan, a 29-year-old from Colville, Washington, was last seen on December 7, 2021, in the Wapshilla Ridge area, south of Waha in Nez Perce County, Idaho. He has not been heard from since that day, and there has been no activity on his phone. His family reported him missing on Sunday, December 12, 2021, after not hearing from him for five days.
Concerns for his mental state at the time of his disappearance were noted by his family, who also believed he may have been in possession of a firearm.
On the day he was last seen, Sloan was arrested by Idaho State Police for speeding and was subsequently charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms. He was released from the Nez Perce County jail on his own recognizance later that same day and has not been heard from since.
Sloan had been driving a blue 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup truck with matching aftermarket bumpers and Idaho license plate number C99346X. This vehicle was discovered on December 13, 2021, stuck in the snow in a remote area near Craig Mountain. There was no sign of Sloan at the scene of the truck.
Search and rescue efforts were hampered by the challenging conditions. Recent snowfall in the remote and rugged area had obscured any potential tracks, and search dogs were unable to pick up a trail. Law enforcement and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game conducted searches, checking shelters and cabins in the area towards Eagle Creek and searching the Snake River by boat. However, due to deep snow and poor weather, the official search was eventually called off. Few details have been made available in his ongoing case.Last Seen: Dec 7, 2021
