Roger Shelton

WILLISTON – The Williams County Sheriff’s Office has released new information in the investigation into a Williston man who has been missing since January.

Roger Shelton, 62, Williston, was last seen in Williams County on Jan. 5, and investigators have spent the last months following up on a number of leads and tips. A recent release has provided information gleaned from camera footage obtained in the investigation, showing vehicle activity near Shelton’s residence between 6-7 a.m. on Jan. 6.

The footage in question shows two vehicles driving through the Freedom Meadows subdivision in west Williston and stopping in front of Shelton’s home for a brief period. One or more individuals may have exited a vehicle. Investigators were unable to identify any details about the vehicles or individuals from the footage.

Shelton’s last known public location before his disappearance was the Black Gold Casino located on the border between Montana and North Dakota in the evening hours of Jan. 5. Investigators believe Shelton traveled home to his residence after leaving the casino.

Shelton is 5’5” with brown hair and brown eyes, and has a distinctive tattoo of the Pink Panther with the word “roach” written underneath.

The public is asked to contact the Williams County Sheriff’s Office to provide any information as to Shelton’s whereabouts. A private group is offering a $50,000 reward for any credible information leading to Shelton’s location and safe return.
