Shayne Peterson was 18 when he was last seen in Albuquerque in 2009. He is described as a Native American male with brown hair and brown eyes, between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 140 pounds, and frequently wearing red clothing.

Peterson has several distinctive tattoos: a broken pill on his neck; a clown on his left forearm; the words Smile Now Cry Later on one arm; Duke on his right arm; and the words City and Splif on his left arm. The Albuquerque Police Department is handling the investigation. His case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on December 6, 2012.

Few details have been made public about his last movements, and the conflicting dates and limited information have left his family without answers. If anyone saw Shayne in Albuquerque in 2009 or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
