FORSYTH - A family in Forsyth is searching for a loved one Monday night. Thirty-nine-year-old Tom Smith of Forsyth has been missing since last Tuesday night.

According to the Rosebud County Sheriff, his vehicle was found in Smith Creek, just west of town, and about two miles from his home. They believe Smith left his vehicle and tried to find his way home, but became disorientated.

Officials say the Sheriff's Department, County Search And Rescue, search dogs from Helena, and the family searched about a five-square-mile area for Smith, but found no trace.

The sheriff says they used GPS on his cell phone, but it's turned off, and are tracking his credit cards for any action. If you have any information on Tom Smith’s whereabouts, you are asked to call the Rosebud County Sheriff's Department at (406) 346-2715.

Search for Missing Man Continues

My husband & I used to play pool with Tom & friends. He is a very nice person. He is an excellent hunting guide & guides in Montana,Wyoming & Alaska. We are hoping he decided to just take off to one of these places. I know he has been around Washington State also. They had a picture of him with a small article in the Billings Gazette newspaper. I am trying to find that article still.
I went out on the search today. We had an excellent turnout. We had 2 or 3 groups of walkers, in our group we had 26 people. We had plenty more horse & ATV four wheeler riders. We covered a lot of land. We did not find any trace of Tom. I'm not sure if there will be more searches. The weather here is fair for this time of year. Is quite cold at night & if the wind comes up, it goes right through a person.
If anyone could help me find the article with Tom's picture, I would appreciate if you would post it. Thank you.

No trace of missing man found
By Gazette News Services
A search on Saturday found no further evidence as to the whereabouts of a missing Forsyth man.

About 100 volunteers, including family members, covered about seven square miles on horse, foot and off-road vehicle, said Rosebud County Sheriff Randy Allies.

Thomas Smith, 39, was last seen Dec. 17 when his vehicle went off the road and into a ditch about two miles from his home.

A motorist called 911 about 10:55 p.m. that night to report that she saw a vehicle go into a ditch on Smith Creek Road, about a mile west of Forsyth. A deputy arrived four minutes after the 911 call was made. The deputy found Smith's Chevy Suburban but no sign of the man.

Allies said Monday that there is no evidence of foul play, and there are no clues at Smith's house. Allies said Smith was seen at a Forsyth bar the evening before the crash and worked as an outfitter in the area. No activity has been reported on his bank or credit cards.

Smith was described as 5 foot 8, about 145 pounds with short brown hair that's balding on top. He was last seen wearing jeans, a red or burgundy flannel shirt, a camouflage jacket and black boots.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Rosebud County Sheriff's Office at 406-346-2715.

The pin is where Tom's vehicle was found. Notice how close to interstate 94 or Old Highway 10E.The road his vehicle was found on is Smith Creek Road. Someone may have picked him up that night. The police were at his crash site within 4-5 minutes. How could he disappear so fast ?
