Pernell Lloyd Tewangiotewa was 21 when he disappeared after a night out in Farmington, New Mexico. On May 29, 1998, he was at Gator’s Bar & Grill with his sister and friends and left at about 1:30 a.m., last seen heading east on Main Street in his sister’s 1988 Pontiac Subaru station wagon. He never arrived home in Bloomfield.

Three weeks later, on June 18, the car was found burned in Choke Cherry Canyon, roughly five miles from Farmington; investigators later determined the fire was arson. Pernell was not at the scene and has not been heard from since. Authorities believe he may have attended a party in Flora Vista before he vanished and have treated the disappearance as possible foul play. Pernell was a cosmetology student at the time.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. Did anyone who knew Pernell or who was in Farmington or Flora Vista that night see him or his sister’s station wagon?
