Shaun Oelschlager
Shaun Oelschlager, 32, vanished on March 31, 2025, after sending a final text message stating he was driving out of Missoula, Montana. By the following day, concerns escalated when he failed to show up for critical medical appointments, prompting his family to report him missing. As a disabled veteran diagnosed with PTSD, the lapse in his medical care has added significant urgency and concern to his disappearance.
His vehicle, a 2019 red or maroon Dodge Ram Rebel with Montana plate I1589, was noted to have a smashed front end and a broken back window at the time he was last seen. Despite his distinct vehicle and the time that has passed, no confirmed sightings or updates have surfaced, leaving investigators with few leads regarding his direction of travel or current location.
Even small pieces of information—a sighting of his damaged truck at a rest stop, a conversation at a gas station, or any unusual activity noticed in the mountains or surrounding areas of Missoula—could provide the breakthrough needed to bring him home.
Shaun’s disappearance weighs heavily on his family and the veteran community, and law enforcement is urging the public to remain vigilant. Community awareness is vital in cases like Shaun’s, where a loved one and their vehicle seem to disappear without a trace.
If you have any information about the whereabouts of Shaun Oelschlager or have seen his vehicle, please contact the Missoula Police Department at 406-552-6300 or dial 911.
