Missing Since: 2022-03-22 Location: None, Arizona
Kootswatewa was last seen with her boyfriend at a residence in Teesto, Arizona on March 22, 2022. She has never been heard from again. Few details are available in her case. Her family stated she had fallen in with “the wrong people” prior to her disappearance after her relationship with her daughters’ father ended, and it was common for her family to go a couple of weeks without hearing from her. Three days later, two Navajo men, Micheaux Begaii and Damien Niedo, 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.
