The Flathead County sheriff’s office says 25-year-old Madeline Connelly, most recently of Prescott, Arizona, went missing while hiking in the Great Bear Wilderness south of Glacier National Park. Twenty-six-year-old Corey Michael Flannigan of Spokane, Washington, is missing after a stolen vehicle he was believed to have been driving crashed north of Kalispell.

Connelly was in Montana visiting relatives and reportedly went for a day hike on Thursday with her dog. Her vehicle was found two days later at the Bear Creek trailhead near Essex. She is 5 feet, 5 inches tall and about 120 pounds.



Flannigan also was reported missing on Thursday. He is 6 feet tall and 190- pounds with light brown shaved hair and blue eyes. Authorities say the circumstances of his disappearance are suspicious.
