Albert White Jr., a 26-year-old Native American/Alaska Native man from Chinle, Arizona, was last seen on February 13, 2025, in Chinle, Apache County. Public information from the Navajo Nation Police Department and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System identifies Chinle as the location of his last contact and places the disappearance within the Navajo Nation, where he is enrolled.
According to information released by the Navajo Nation Police Department, White was last seen leaving the Redwood housing area in Chinle at approximately 4 p.m. on February 13. He had told family members that he was going to a friend's house to pick up a bicycle. After he left, his family and friends did not see or hear from him again. The Navajo Nation Police Department's Chinle District is identified as the investigating agency.
The circumstances described in the official missing-person notice provide no indication that White intended to be away for an extended period. The account released by authorities centers on his stated plan to visit a friend to retrieve a bicycle, followed by the loss of contact with him. His disappearance was subsequently reported to the Navajo Nation Police Department, and the agency entered the case into the National Crime Information Center. A Navajo Nation Police Department missing-person listing continues to identify White among people missing from the Navajo Nation, with Chinle listed as the police district responsible for the case. A Navajo Nation missing-persons document published in September 2025 likewise listed Albert White Jr., age 36 in that document, as missing from Chinle since February 13, 2025. The age discrepancy among public postings is notable: the case information provided for this synopsis lists White as 26 at the time he went missing, while some later public Navajo Nation materials identify him as 36.
Authorities have provided several identifying details that could assist someone who may have encountered White after his disappearance. He is described as approximately 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing approximately 130 to 135 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes, and public case information states that he has tattoos on both arms, although the designs are not specified. At the time he was last seen, he was reportedly wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, light-blue pants, and white Nike shoes. The official Navajo Nation Police Department notice similarly gives his clothing as a black long-sleeve shirt, light-blue pants, and white Nike shoes and notes the tattoos on both arms. These details have been repeatedly included in public descriptions of the case as authorities and others continue to seek information about his whereabouts.
The available public record does not provide a detailed account of what happened after White left the Redwood housing area, nor does it identify a confirmed destination, subsequent sighting, vehicle, or other verified movement following his departure. Publicly available notices instead emphasize his last known location, his stated intention to retrieve a bicycle, his identifying characteristics, and the request that anyone with information contact the Chinle District of the Navajo Nation Police Department. The official notice states that White was entered into NCIC and directs people with information about his whereabouts to the Chinle District police department. The department's public missing-persons page continues to list his case, indicating that authorities have continued to make his disappearance publicly known.
As the search for Albert White Jr. continues, the circumstances remain centered on a seemingly ordinary departure from the Redwood housing area that was followed by an unexplained loss of contact. He was 26 years old when he was reported missing, was last known to be in Chinle on February 13, 2025, and was reportedly headed to a friend's residence to pick up a bicycle. More than the passage of time is significant in this case: his family and friends have reported no subsequent contact, while authorities continue to seek information that could establish where he went after leaving the housing area and what occurred afterward. The case remains a painful and unresolved disappearance for those who know him, with the known facts consisting of his last confirmed location in Chinle, his stated plan to visit a friend for a bicycle, his physical and clothing descriptions, and the continuing effort by the Navajo Nation Police Department to determine his whereabouts. In overview, Albert White Jr.'s disappearance began on February 13, 2025, when the 26-year-old man left the Redwood housing area in Chinle saying he was going to retrieve a bicycle from a friend, and despite efforts to locate him and continued public requests for information, the publicly available record does not establish what happened to him after that last known contact.Last Seen: Feb 13, 2025
