My name is Nico Sheppard (Low Dog), and I am helping my mom, Elaine Low Dog Hopkins, search for my missing brother. Jory Low Dog has been missing since September 18, 2026. He is so loved, and we are tirelessly searching for him daily. We have organized community efforts to assist and need more help.

From my mom’s social media,

“I just wanted to share some moments of Jory’s life. He is more than someone who is missing. He is a son, a brother, a nephew, a cousin, a friend, a classmate, a coworker, and a dad.

Graduated a year early from HS

First job working at McDonald’s

Homecoming

OSU walk around

Navy Days

My son is so smart and funny — and missed.

If you know anything, however small, please report it to the CRST Police Department so they can follow up.

If you are able to help in the grid search, please do. We can use all the help we can get. We will be at the old Bosley’s building in Dupree at 8 a.m. tomorrow and Sunday. Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe is over 4,200 sq miles, but we fortunately have an area to focus on at this time. More horses and ATVs would be very helpful. If you have home cameras or hunting cameras, please check them. If you are out checking your fences or moving your cattle, keep a lookout for anything that doesn’t belong.

The family is so grateful for everyone’s presence, time, thoughts and prayers, monetary donations, and help getting his information out to the public. Thank you!!

Please help us find Jory.”

The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe is roughly 2.8 million acres, roughly the size of the state of Connecticut. We are asking for help in our search. We have many volunteers and community members assisting. We need help with feeding folks meals, gas/fuel, lodging assistance, and related search activities.

Please help us find our loved one
