NaVey Erlene Skinner, 47, was last seen in Everett, Washington, on May 1, 2024. She had been living unhoused in the Everett and Lynnwood areas after losing her home in 2020 but stayed in contact with family. On the day she disappeared she spoke with her mother and said she had ordered a new Social Security benefit card and a credit card to be mailed to her mother’s address; the cards arrived a few days later but NaVey did not.

Her phone went out of service and she stopped making her usual weekly calls. Missing Mother’s Day and failing to check on her mother after knee surgery were described as out of character. Friends and her boyfriend, who retains some of her belongings, say they have not heard from her since early May. NaVey had not retrieved the debit and food-stamp cards that arrived for her.

NaVey is described as a white female, 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches, 125–135 pounds, blonde hair, hazel eyes, with several tattoos (floral on lower back, fairy on left ankle, words on neck, Chinese characters on right back shoulder, tribal on right buttock), a three-inch scar on her left wrist and an infected bunion on her left foot. She was last seen wearing a white tank top and jeans. The Everett Police Department is investigating; her family seeks any information.

If anyone saw NaVey in early May 2024 or knows where she might be, please come forward.
