News from Lake County Sheriff Don Bell
LAKE COUNTY — On Oct. 14, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office took a report that 54-year-old Dnette Tenas, of Ronan, had not been heard from by friends or family since Oct. 8. Lake County Sheriff’s Office personnel and Tribal Police officers were able to determine her last confirmed location was in a recreation area near Buffalo Bridge on Oct. 8. Danette had been with friends in that area and became separated from them after a breakdown had occurred on a vehicle they were operating. The friends she was with attempted to locate her, but eventually assumed she got a ride from other friends or people who were present in the area as this would not be out of the ordinary for Danette to do. Danette is not known to carry or own a cellphone.
Search efforts have been concentrated in the Buffalo Bridge area and have been conducted by Lake County Search and Rescue with help from the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes as well as Flathead County Search and Rescue. Danette was last known to be wearing a denim jacket over a white shirt, denim shorts, and slide-sandals with white soles and a sparkly sequin top. She is approximately 5’8” and 140 lbs. with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.
Though she typically lives in Ronan, Danette is known to be somewhat transient throughout the Mission Valley. If you are aware of Ms. Tenas’s whereabouts, please contact the Lake County Sheriff’s Office at 406-883-7301.
