Details of Disappearance

Charlo was last seen in Missoula, Montana on June 16, 2018. Late night before, she went to the Badlander, Golden Rose and Dark Horse bars. Between midnight and 1:00 a.m. on June 16, she was dropped off on Fifth Street between Russell and Orange streets, and was last seen walking east towards the Orange Street Food Farm.

Later that morning, between 2:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., Charlo's cellular phone pinged in an area of the Flathead Indian Reservation called Evaro Hill, about fourteen miles from downtown Missoula.

She has never been heard from again and is considered missing under suspicious circumstances. She hasn't used social media since her disappearance, which is uncharacteristic of her. On the night of her disappearance, she supposedly had plans to meet a friend named Cassidy, but authorities haven't been able to find any person known to Charlo who had that name. She often went to Missoula to visit her boyfriend, but he was out of state that weekend.

On the night of her disappearance, a man was seen following Charlo as she socialized at the bars. The man was subsequently identified as Michael DeFrance; he is her ex-boyfriend and the father of her two children. He later told police Charlo left her phone in his car, which he later threw the phone away near a highway in Idaho. It was never found. DeFrance has not been identified as a suspect in Charlo's case and neither has her boyfriend.

Authorities believe Charlo is no longer alive. At the time of her disappearance, she lived with her two sons on the Flathead Reservation about forty miles from Missoula. Her case remains unsolved.
