Herman Etcitty, a 39-year-old Native American man, was last seen in Gallup, New Mexico, on January 1, 1985. His last known contact was a phone message left for his sister-in-law at her workplace; he did not leave a return number and no one heard from him again. At the time he was active in the rodeo community.

He was 5 feet 8 inches tall, about 140 pounds, and wore prescription eyeglasses. The Navajo Nation Police Department continues to list his case as open and his information appears in NamUs and other missing persons databases. There have been few leads and the disappearance remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the rodeo community or in Gallup at the time have contact with Herman around New Year’s 1985 or recall seeing him after January 1?
