Sa'Wade Birdinground has been missing since October 7th, 2024. The young teen was last seen around 11:00 PM the previous night at her family's house in Garryowen, Montana. When Sa'Wade's family went to wake her up the following morning, she was not in her bedroom; nor was she anywhere in or around the residence. Sa'Wade was subsequently reported missing.
Garryowen is a privately-owned town in Big Horn County, Montana. The specific area from which Sa'Wade vanished is a very rural area within the boundaries of the Crow Indian Reservation. Sa'Wade grew up on the reservation; she turned 13 years-old just a little over two weeks before her disappearance. Her family members describe her as a quiet girl with no history of running away. Reports state that Sa'Wade has autism, and that her disappearance is completely out of character.
Widespread searches were conducted for Sa'Wade, by both volunteers and professionals, but no sign of her was found. By October 20th, it was announced that the FBI had joined the search for Sa'Wade. At that time, it was also reported that Sa'Wade's phone, which she left behind, had been "handed off to the FBI for agents to recover recently cleared text messages and phone calls. Investigators are also looking at one additional phone call that may be the last person Sa’wade spoke with before vanishing."
It's unclear what other evidence the phone might have produced. Sa'Wade still remains missing. Authorities have kept quiet about their investigation due to its ongoing status. However, they are still appealing to the public for anyone with information about Sa'Wade's whereabouts to come forward.
If you have any information that could help solve Sa'Wade's disappearance, please contact the Big Horn County Sheriff's Office at (406) 665-9798 or submit a tip to the FBI.
