At the time she went missing, Knowshisgun weighed approximately 160 pounds and had brown hair. She was born on a Crow Indian reservation and has three children. She was short on cash to travel back to Montana the week she disappeared, so she might have tried to arrange for transportation from a Kennewick local. Kennewick is located 130 miles southwest of Moscow, Idaho.

The family has commented to reporters on a lack of urgency by Washington State investigators in the matter. This missing persons case is # BO16155917 with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Freda Jane Knowshisgun, please call 1-833-560-2065.
