He was swimming with three male friends in the Two Leggins River near Crow Agency, Crow Reservation, and has never been seen since. His friends had reached the river bank and then walked away to rejoin the group, so they never saw Limberhand exit the river. Despite extensive search and rescue efforts conducted, he was never located.

At the time of his disappearance, Limberhand couldn't swim and it's considered uncharacteristic of him to go into the water. He is assumed to have drowned but his body has never been recovered.

BUSBY, Mont. –– Douglas “Snazz” Limberhand, father of James D. Limberhand, age 33 of Busby, reports that his son has been missing since August 7, 2014.

James was last seen at the Two Leggins River and Bridge near Crow Agency, Crow Reservation in the company of three Cheyenne companions. Search and rescue efforts conducted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Crow Agency; Big Horn County Sherriff’s Department; Big Horn County Search and Rescue; the Limberhand family and Northern Cheyenne volunteers have been inconclusive to date.

On the date of his disappearance Limberhand was in the company of Sam Walker, Roddy Littlebear and Star Littlebear, all of Busby who were reportedly drinking and then swimming at the site. Walker told investigators that on that day, Limberhand entered the river and swam out to the middle. Walker reports calling him back because the current was deep and swift, but left before Limberhand reached the bank, walking to another part of that recreation area to join other members of the group. Shortly thereafter, the three came back to check on James, who was nowhere in sight.
