Ruben Peter Begay, a 36-year-old enrolled member of the Navajo Nation, was last seen in Jeddito, Arizona, on December 12, 2021. Known for regularly checking in with his mother, Ruben’s sudden and uncharacteristic silence prompted growing alarm. His family reported him missing to the Navajo Nation Police Department’s Dilkon District on January 15, 2022, and an investigation was opened.

Ruben is described as an American Indian / Alaska Native male with black hair and brown eyes, standing between 5 feet and 5 feet 1 inch and weighing 150 to 170 pounds. Distinguishing marks include a tribal tattoo on the left side of his neck, a tribal sleeve on his left arm, another tattoo of an unknown design on his right shoulder, and pierced earlobes. He had recently cut his long hair short and was often seen wearing sunglasses.

Few details about his last movements have been released, and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear. Does anyone in or around Jeddito have information about Ruben’s whereabouts or his activities in December 2021?
