Missing Since: 2022-03-25 Location: None, Arizona
Nieto was last seen with friends at a residence in Teesto, Arizona on the evening of March 25, 2022. He disappeared with another Navajo man from Dilkon, Micheaux-Michael Begaii. There was a report of a shooting incident at the residence the following morning, and the case is still under investigation. Three days before Niedo and Begaii disappeared, a Hopi woman, Keisha Kootswatewa, also disappeared from Teesto. Kootswatewa’s cousin talked to witnesses who said there had been a house party, Begaii and Niedo had been shot and killed, and Kootswatewa was taken alive at gunpoint. This information has not been confirmed, however, and none of them have been located.
