<<Delvin Yazzie, who would be 34-years-old today, has been missing since August 2011. For four years, his mother Elta Yazzie has continued to search for him, following up on leads of her own and is waiting for her son’s return.

Elta Yazzie had three children, but she lost her oldest son in an automobile accident in July. The only tangible child is her daughter.

“I’m just hurting so bad, I try to look for him,” Elta Yazzie said.

Delvin was last seen at the Safeway store in Gallup where he reportedly got into a blue super cab pickup truck on Aug. 2, 2011, and he has not been seen since then.

“I didn’t even know that he took off … he said I’ll be back,” Elta Yazzie said, holding back tears.

She went on to explain that her son had even asked her to wash a white shirt and pants for him for when he returned, which she did.

Delvin left behind a young child who stays with his mother’s family. He was known to engage in yard work to make money, and enjoyed playing baseball and basketball.

He has a tattoo of the letter “I” and a heart on his left hand, along with several visible scars on his body. At the time he went missing, Delvin stands 5’3” and weighed 155 lbs. He has brown eyes and black hair.>>
