Roy Thomas Bluebird was 31 when he was released from the Gallup Municipal Jail in Gallup, New Mexico, on May 12, 1987. He was seen later that day in Vanderwagen, south of Gallup, and was never seen or heard from again. His disappearance is listed as involuntary, which indicates foul play is suspected.

At the time he went missing Roy was described as a Native American male, 5 feet 7 inches, about 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Distinguishing marks included a scar above his navel, a scar on his right cheek, and cigarette burn scars on his forearms. Reports conflict about his last clothing: one account says a brown short-sleeved t-shirt and brown pants; another says a grey or white sport t-shirt with faded Wrangler jeans. He was also said to be wearing brown Dingo cowboy boots.

The McKinley County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation and can be reached at 505-863-1410. Does anyone have information about Roy’s movements in Gallup or Vanderwagen on May 12, 1987?
