Search and rescue has also decided to scale back efforts in finding Joseph Thompson, 18, who went missing on April 11. He was last seen four to five miles up Southside Road.

Thompson is 6 feet tall and weighs 140 pounds. He has blue eyes and blonde hair.

Detectives followed information on the events leading up to and after Thompson’s disappearance. According to the press release, detectives believe no criminal activity is suspected in his disappearance.

According to the press release, the county’s search and rescue team, the sheriff’s office and Seeley-Swan Search and Rescue have “extensively searched” both Southside Road and Deep Creek.
Hikers, K-9s, ATVs and UTVs and drones have been employed to look for the 18-year-old.

“This includes checking cliff edges and areas below them and traversing the nearby Clark Fork River,” the press release stated. About 310 miles and 371 search hours have gone into Thompson’s case.

Because of limited evidence to direct search efforts, the sheriff’s office and search and rescue decided to reduce resources in finding Thompson.

“New evidence would narrow the area of focus and prompt additional search efforts,” the release reads.

Anyone with information on either Bartell or Thompson is asked to call 911 immediately.
