Circumstances of Disappearance
Reamer's girlfriend dropped him at his apartment on Wilder Street in Helena the night of Sunday, March 27, 1994. He had spent the weekend with her, and their son. She was surprised to find a man she didn't know at Reamer's apartment when she dropped him off. She thought Reamer might have known him from a video rental store where Reamer often rented Nintendo games.
On Monday morning, his girlfriend and her mother talked to Reamer before he left for school. Neither of the women detected anything out of the ordinary during their brief conversation with Reamer. That was the last time they talked to him. They tried calling on Tuesday and Wednesday but got no answer.
Reamer's next door neighbor recalls last seeing Reamer come home on the night of March 27. The woman said she intended to make breakfast for Reamer and her son Monday morning before the pair went on a short fishing trip, but Reamer didn't answer his door that morning.
On April 4th, he was reported missing. In his apartment were items including Reamer's billfold and his school books. His vehicle also was parked outside the residence. But his favorite cowboy hat was missing.
According to Montana Probation and Parole records, Reamer was under state supervision at the time of his disappearance in connection with a 1992 assault that occurred at a Manhattan, Mont., bar. Reamer received a six-year deferred sentence, along with 331 days in the Gallatin County Detention Center. Reamer was bi-polar, and was not taking his medication at the time of the brawl at the bar.
There were at least a couple occasions when it was feared Reamer was suicidal, but friends or law enforcement were able to intervene before he was able to hurt himself. Though Reamer experienced some rough spots following his release from jail and move to Helena, related to drugs and alcohol, it appeared he was doing fairly well in his new life. He was working for a contractor while attending Carroll College.
Lt. Dave Jeseritz reopened the missing person case of Helena resident John Reamer a little over a year ago. He visited the video store where Reamer was believed to have rented videos. The owners confirmed that Reamer had rented items there, but had no information about the young man who was believed to be an employee there.
In December 1993, Reamer's probation officer recommended to the court that Reamer's six-year deferred sentence be reinstated after he was picked up for an alleged DUI that involved a hit-and-run accident. In addition, the officer was concerned that Reamer had failed to complete a drug and alcohol treatment program.
Jeseritz pulled Reamer's phone records to figure out if the conversations witnesses reported having with Reamer before his disappearance actually happened, and to determine who else he might have called.
Jeseritz found nothing out of the ordinary in those records other than that Reamer had called a couple of fishing companies in Alaska, where he used to work before moving to Montana.
Those companies had long since been out of business by the time Jeseritz tried to make contact with them in 2003 to find out if anyone there had any information about Reamer's whereabouts.
In addition to obtaining Reamer's phone records, he investigated transactions from Reamer's bank accounts. He discovered that some activity was recorded in the days preceding Reamer's disappearance - nothing out of the ordinary - but the accounts have remained dormant, with a positive balance, since then.
