Lewis and Clark County deputies seek missing 14-year-old boy
Deputies are asking Lewis and Clark County residents to help locate 14-year-old Andrew Nicholas Jr. Molano, whose last contact was June 15.
Lewis and Clark County deputies are asking for public help in locating 14-year-old Andrew Nicholas Jr. Molano, who was reported missing from Lewis and Clark County, Montana. His last known contact was June 15, 2026, and his case is listed in the state’s most recent missing person cases.
Molano is described by the Montana Department of Justice as a White male with brown hair and brown eyes. He is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 145 pounds. A photo associated with his listing is dated January 21, 2026.
The investigating agency is the Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s Office, and the phone number listed in the state database is (406) 442-7883. Tips and identifying information can also be passed to the Montana Missing Persons Clearinghouse at (406) 444-2800. Residents who may have seen Molano or who have information about his recent movements are being asked to contact law enforcement directly.
The Montana Missing Persons Database lists Molano among its most recent missing person cases and shows the entry was last updated June 16, 2026, at 10:31:49 MDT. Montana officials say the state’s missing-person system traces back to the Missing Children Act of 1985, and Attorney General Austin Knudsen launched an enhanced online version in October 2021 to help law enforcement and the public locate missing people more quickly.
The search comes as the Lewis and Clark County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office, led by Sheriff/Coroner Leo C. Dutton, reported 214 investigative cases in 2025, including 3 involving minors under 18. In a county that includes Helena and surrounding communities, that workload underscores how quickly a missing-child case can reach across neighborhoods, schools and public spaces while deputies work to piece together a last-known location and timeline.
