Daniel Andy Tsosie was 21 when he was last seen by his parents around 7:00 a.m. on July 1, 2014, in Chinle, Arizona. A member of the Navajo Nation, he told family he was going to his grandparents’ home and was reportedly dropped off at the Spider Rock turnoff inside Canyon de Chelly National Monument. He is described as 5 feet 6 inches, 160 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and wearing a brown shirt, gray pants and square-frame prescription eyeglasses.

Years passed without confirmed sightings, and in June 2018 the Navajo Nation Police Department, Apache County Sheriff’s Office and volunteer teams including Dzil Yi Jiin Community Emergency Response Team conducted an extensive search of the rugged canyon rim and piñon forest around Spider Rock but found no evidence. Reports have mentioned a possible sighting of him hitchhiking on the east side of Chinle, but no concrete leads have emerged. The Chinle District Navajo Nation Police Department remains the primary investigating agency.

If anyone saw Daniel around Chinle in July 2014 or has information about his movements after he was dropped at the Spider Rock turnoff, please share what you know.
