Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP161742)
In the autumn of 2017, a family's life was altered when 49-year-old Curtis Endischee, a Diné man, was last seen on October 1st in Gallup, New Mexico. His parents had driven him to the Greyhound bus station located at 3405 West Highway 66. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing between 200 and 214 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
It was believed that his intended destination was Albuquerque, New Mexico, a city where he was known to sometimes stay at homeless shelters.
The circumstances surrounding Curtis Endischee's case are marked by a significant delay in reporting. It wasn't until nearly nine years after he was last seen by his parents that a family member officially reported him as a missing person on June 15, 2026. This lengthy gap in time has presented considerable challenges for the investigation, which is being handled by the Gallup Police Department. The reasons for this delayed reporting have not been made public.
The investigation into Curtis Endischee's whereabouts continues to be an open case, with very few details available to the public. Authorities have publicly requested that anyone with information regarding his disappearance or who may have seen him since October 2017 to come forward. The central mystery of the case remains what happened to him after he was dropped off at the bus station and whether he ever made it to his presumed destination of Albuquerque. His family is left waiting for answers, hoping that someone will provide the information needed to bring them closure.Last Seen: Oct 1, 2017
