Officially, the park doesn’t appear to track the missing. When asked for a list of missing people, the Yellowstone Park Public Affairs Office referred Cowboy State Daily to the national park’s cold case database containing 25 missing persons cold cases for all national parks.

Campbell was the only person cited on the list to have gone missing in Yellowstone. Of the others, nine went missing in Yosemite State National Park in California while five disappeared in Grand Canyon National Park.

The other five missing persons who disappeared in Yellowstone were culled from the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation’s missing person database and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs).

Along with Campbell, those never found include Luke Sanburg, Bruce Pike, Stuart Isaac, Kim Crumbo and 8-year-old Dennis Johnson, all of whom disappeared in the park between 1966 and 2021.

Steve Stockton's "Missing Person Mysteries" on YouTube is an excellent podcast covering those who go missing in national parks. Very comprehensive and many cases I've never even heard of.
