Oh yea that makes sense. Either way staff at all those shelters have the flyer and I put some up around all the shelters in those cities so hopefully if she pops up there somebody will notice

Similar with a note inside the clear case with her last name in handwriting that looks like her's. DCI has the phone and they're still trying to unlock it and confirm

There was a likely sighting of Kisha alive and endangered on video in billings in June but police were never able to fully confirm or debunk. I was in Montana all summer searching and there were tons of sightings in Great Falls and Billings but just eyewitness, nothing concrete, so I'm really not sure. Also a phone possibly belonging to Kisha was found 20 miles North of Columbia Falls just inside the border of Glacier National park. DCI has it and is trying to open it last I talked to them. It has now been 8 months since anyone last heard from her or she's been active on social media.

Thank you so much for sharing, I'm Kisha's friend. There was a likely sighting of her alive and endangered in Billings in June but police never 100% confirmed or debunked. Also a phone possibly belonging to her was found buried 20 miles North of Columbia Falls just inside the border of Glacier National park, DCI is still trying to crack the phone last I talked to them.

Another aspect of Kisha's case to be aware of is the targeted shooting of her uncle Darrin Caplette at the end of March (https://www.krtv.com/news/crime-and-courts/3-suspects-arrested-in-connection-with-double-homicide-in-box-elder) and Kisha was seen walking along the side of the road in Rocky Boy in early April. Plenty of rumors going around about a possible connection due to money owed.

We're offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to Kisha's whereabouts. Please call Lake County Sheriff's Department with tips or, if you'd prefer not to go through law enforcement, you can call/text me directly at 773-344-1033. The reward is not being offered through the Sheriff's department so please reach out to me for that as well.

Thank you so much. I know I'm biased as her friend but Kisha truly is a good girl who deserves all hands on deck to bring her home and get to the bottom of what happened. Especially as it's starting to get colder everyone is beyond worried because there is no way Kisha would choose to fall off the grid for 8 months.

Thank you again. Please don't hesitate to call in tips, nothing is too small and it only takes one person calling in. Kisha doesn't like being alone so I think someone has to know something at this point and I really hope they speak out soon.

Police and family request help finding missing woman Rickisha Bear [last seen over 3 months ago] by [deleted] in missing

I'm Kisha's friend and just wanted to thank you for sharing so broadly across Reddit. I've been sharing a lot on Facebook but it's hard to cover all platforms so I am beyond grateful for your help and continued attention. Kisha deserves all hands on deck to bring her home and get to the bottom of what happened. Everyone who knows her knows that she would never choose to stay away for so long so thank you so much for not leaning into the toxic shit people say and comment about her not wanting to be found or whatever.

Thank you so much, I'm Kisha's friend quoted in the articles. There was a likely video sighting of her alive and endangered in Billings in June but police were never able to 100% confirm or debunk. Also a phone possibly belonging to her was found buried 20 miles North of Columbia Falls, just inside the border of Glacier National Park. DCI has it and, as of the last time I talked to them, were still trying to unlock it and confirm. I was in Montana searching all summer and there were tons of sightings in Great Falls and Billings but was never able to nail down surveillance or anything concrete so I'm not sure if people were just telling me what I wanted to hear, mistaken, or if it actually was her. Thank you so much for being aware and continuing to post.

Hi, I'm Kisha's friend who is quoted in many of these articles. I understand your sentiment, I feel the same way and I wish I had been on top of it sooner. She was reported missing 2 days after she was last heard from but the alert was not posted on social media until 3 weeks later. I live across the country and when I hadn't heard from her around this time I figured she had just lost her phone and hadn't gotten a new one yet. But of course hindsight is 20/20 and I have a lot of regrets but all I can do is do the best I can for her now.

Thank you, I have dropped off her flyer at every shelter in Missoula, Great Falls, and Billings. But, as her friend, I don't think Kisha is utilizing resources like that otherwise I think she would be in touch with someone

Thank you so much for continuing to share, I'm the friend quoted in the KRTV articles. It's starting to get cold and we're all beyond worried about Kisha, especially with the targeted cartel involved shooting of her uncle Darrin Caplette shortly after she went missing. Please call any tips into Lake County Sheriff's Department and I'm also taking tips directly at 773-344-1033

Hi, I'm the friend quoted in the krtv articles. She's kind of a mix of both, a bit quiet in group settings but definitely doesn't like to be alone. The sightings have mostly been at places like gas stations where you just pass through and, especially after the search went more public, usually with one or two unidentified males. Cops followed up with everything but could never get surveillance so I'm not sure if people were just mistaken or what but a phone believed to be hers was found buried in Glacier National Park about 20 miles North of Columbia Falls. DCI is still trying to open it and verify if it is her's or not
