In the summer of 2019, 26-year-old Tristin Davis Routzen informed his family that he was planning to travel to Albuquerque, New Mexico, a journey of roughly 180 miles from his location in Farmington. This was the last communication his family had with him. Tristin never arrived at his destination and has not been seen or heard from since that day. The specifics of his intended trip to Albuquerque or his reasons for going remain unclear, leaving his loved ones with unanswered questions and
growing concern as days turned into weeks without any word from him. His disappearance cast a long shadow of uncertainty and worry over his family and community.
Tristin is described as an American Indian male with black hair and brown eyes, standing 5'7" and weighing around 200 pounds. He is affiliated with the Navajo Nation and the Pueblo of Acoma. Distinctive features include a tattoo on his back that says “Routzen” and another tattoo of black script writing on his chest. When he was last seen, he was reportedly wearing a Raiders shirt and black pants. As concern for his welfare mounted, Tristin was officially reported as a missing person to the Farmington Police Department on September 15, 2019, prompting an official investigation into his whereabouts.
The case of Tristin Routzen’s disappearance remains open and active, with few details available to the public regarding the investigation. He vanished after telling his family he was headed to Albuquerque, but it is unknown if he ever made it there. His family and law enforcement are still seeking answers and have asked for the public's help for any information that might lead to his location. The lack of any significant leads or new information has left his case in a state of prolonged uncertainty, a difficult reality for a family waiting for any news about their loved one.
