Rafael Naranjo, 84, went missing from his Pasco, Washington, home on October 2, 2021. A Hispanic man with graying hair and brown eyes, he is small in stature. At the time he vanished he was reported wearing a black t-shirt with an image of the Virgin Mary, a blue button-up shirt over it, black slacks, brown work boots and a blue ball cap.

Mr. Naranjo lived with Alzheimer’s disease and had a documented history of wandering; on prior occasions he was found in Kennewick and in far-western Pasco after walking away. His family says he speaks only Spanish, which could make it difficult for him to get help if approached by people who do not speak the language. The Pasco Police Department was notified and a search was conducted and public appeals were issued.

If anyone in Pasco, Kennewick or nearby neighborhoods saw Rafael Naranjo around October 2, 2021, or knows where he might have gone, please come forward with information.
