“We are still extremely hopeful,” said Ward’s sister, Chelsey Francis.

Francis lives in Jamestown but has traveled back and forth to Williston several times since Ward disappeared to talk with her sister’s acquaintances, put up missing posters, work with investigators and search for signs of Ward.

“I know my sister isn’t perfect. No one is. She still deserves the same care and respect as everyone else. It is unfair and unacceptable that she shouldn’t get the same attention,” Francis said.

Francis acknowledges that her sister had “an imperfect past,” but said when she last spoke with Ward on Feb. 20, she sounded good.

“There was clarity, which she only had when she was clean and sober. Her demeanor was connected and clear. She had started working again,” Francis said.

Ward grew up in Amarillo, Texas before moving to Fairview, Mont. in 2011. She graduated from Fairview High School in 2014.

Her history includes substance misuse as well as theft of property and shoplifting charges. Despite this, her history also includes multiple attempts at sobriety, including a stint from 2019-2022. Ward’s sister, Chelsey Francis of Jamestown, N.D., said her sister was working to get back into rehabilitation.

“Please share, share, share, “ said Ward’s cousin, Shelby Brady, also 27, of Amarillo, Texas. “Share on social media. Share with family and friends. If we can keep Breeanna top of mind, perhaps someone will feel safe enough to share whatever information they know.”

To encourage the safe return of their loved one, the family is hoping to raise money for a reward. The goal is to raise $5,000,

So sorry to hear this - I was hoping she'd just checked herself back into treatment for the addiction issues which were noted in the thread and her family stated she struggled with. One thing I noted when I read this update - the body was found "unresponsive" and declared deceased. So this is a recent death (as in very) and not something that occurred when she went missing in February, with her body now just being found. Body of missing Williston woman Breeanna Ward found Rest in Peace Breeanna.

We aren't sure. The way it is worded by LE is vague and confusing. She could have been there the whole time for all we know.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Sounds more like she relapsed and just either wasn’t aware she was reported as missing or just wasn’t interested in making contact during this time. I believe it said her boyfriend was the one who reported her missing, but we don’t entirely understand the dynamic there and it seemed that they both struggled with substance abuse.
