It's been almost 10 months since Ranelle Rose Bennett was last seen on the Navajo Nation.
And with each passing day, comes a growing fear among loved ones.
Pictured: Bennett with her son and daughter.
"She was a sweet girl. A sweet lady to her kids, and she took care of them," Rose Yazzie, Bennett's mother, said.
Yazzie hasn't heard from her daughter since June 15, 2021.
She said Bennett was supposed to attend her daughter's 10th birthday, just days before, in Farmington.
However, she never made it.
"Her daughter kept texting her, 'Mom, remember it's my birthday today,'" Yazzie said. "She kept looking out to the road and she kept wanting to see her mom."
Yazzie said she spoke with a police officer and filed a missing persons report on June 21 at the Shiprock Police Department.
Yet despite her efforts, she said the report wasn't found in the department's system until days after.
"Two days later, I went to the criminal investigator here in Shiprock and I just talked to him over the phone. [He said] this was new to him and [that] he didn’t know anything about it," Yazzie said.
From then on, Yazzie says answers from police were far and few between.
"I kept calling the police department, and finally they just got tired of me," Yazzie said. "Sometimes I would just go in and try and wait until an officer came in, and they’ll say he’s out.
If you have information on Bennett's whereabouts, contact the Navajo Police Department's Shiprock District at (505)-368-1350.
