Lloyd Seaver Lanza, 23, vanished from Old Oraibi on the Hopi Reservation on the evening of April 23, 2018. He was last seen walking away from a friend’s home wearing a blue Hopi Bruins shirt, black pants, and black Converse shoes. All communication with his family stopped after that sighting.

His family reported him missing to the Bureau of Indian Affairs Uniform Division on April 29, 2018, and later organized their own searches. In July or August 2018 they followed unconfirmed tips in Flagstaff around Bushmaster Park and behind the Jack in the Box, where people in the local homeless community thought they had seen someone who might be Lloyd, but no direct contact was made. The case was reported to the BIA Investigations Unit on January 14, 2019, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Justice Services, Hopi Agency, is handling the investigation.

Lloyd has several distinctive tattoos: the word LANZA and a bear claw on his chest, and a black bear claw on his right shoulder and left upper arm. Since he walked away from the friend’s house there has been no verified contact and his whereabouts remain unknown. If anyone saw Lloyd after April 23, 2018, or recognizes those tattoos, can you share what you know?
