Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP87150) and 4 other sources
Jonathan Caleb Christensen was 31 years old when he was reported missing from South Dakota in 2019. Online missing-person records identify him as a White male with brown hair and brown eyes, approximately 6 feet 1 inch tall and 150 pounds. NamUs lists him as Missing Person MP87150, with a date of last contact of March 2, 2019, from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, while the South Dakota Missing Persons Clearinghouse lists him as missing since March 1, 2019. Because public sources differ slightly, the most careful summary is that Jonathan’s last known contact or disappearance occurred in early March 2019 in the Sioux Falls area.

The clearest public account says Jonathan last spoke with his family on March 2, 2019, and was in Sioux Falls at the time. The Charley Project describes him as transient at the time he disappeared and notes that he had been known to travel between the West Coast and the Upper Midwest. Uncovered repeats that he last spoke with family in March 2019 and that his travel patterns included those same broad regions. These details suggest that investigators and loved ones may have had to consider a wide geographic area when trying to determine where he went after his last contact.

South Dakota’s Missing Persons Clearinghouse adds that Jonathan was last seen in the Sioux Falls and Brookings areas of South Dakota, expanding the publicly noted local area connected to his disappearance. The same state listing identifies the Sioux Falls Police Department as the investigating agency and provides the department’s public contact number as 605-367-7000. The Charley Project also identifies the Sioux Falls Police Department as the investigating agency and lists a contact number of 605-367-7212.

Very few public details have been released about what happened before or after Jonathan’s last known contact. The Charley Project specifically notes that few details are available in his case, and the publicly available summaries do not describe confirmed clothing, a vehicle, a destination, or specific circumstances that explain why contact stopped. What is clear is that Jonathan was someone’s son, relative, and loved one, and his disappearance left family and investigators without the answers they deserve.

As of the online sources reviewed, Jonathan Christensen remains listed in public missing-person databases, including NamUs, the South Dakota Missing Persons Clearinghouse, The Charley Project, and Uncovered. Anyone with information about Jonathan’s whereabouts or the circumstances surrounding his disappearance is asked to contact the Sioux Falls Police Department.
