Herman Etcitty, a 39-year-old Native American man, was last seen in Gallup, New Mexico, on January 1, 1985. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear. His last known contact was when he left a message for his sister-in-law at her workplace, but he did not provide a return phone number. After that call, no one has heard from him again.
At the time of his disappearance, Herman was active in the rodeo community. He stood 5'8", weighed around 140 pounds, and wore prescription eyeglasses. Despite the passage of time, there have been few leads in his case, and his disappearance remains unsolved.
The Navajo Nation Police Department continues to investigate his case, and his information is listed in both NamUs and other missing persons databases.
His case is part of a broader issue where missing Native American cases, like that of Herman Etcitty, receive limited attention, as advocates continue to push for awareness regarding these often overlooked disappearances.Last Seen: Jan 1, 1985
