Aaron Mark Bradley is a 68-year-old Navajo elder and former pastor. He was last seen at the Shonto Market in Shonto, Arizona on September 6, 2025. He has not been seen since.
Bradley was last seen at the Shonto Market, a convenience store he frequented, on Saturday, September 6, 2025. When family checked his home afterward, they found alarming signs: his front door was open, a window was broken, and essential items had been left behind.
His daughter, Kayla Benally, has been advocating for her father since his disappearance. She has raised awareness of his case before New Mexico's Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples Task Force, and now advocates more broadly for other Indigenous families facing similar circumstances, including work with the tribal MMDR Task Force. Her family has pointed to delays in the alert system and limited access to law enforcement resources as ongoing obstacles in Aaron's case.
Aaron has a feather tattoo with the names Kim, Kayla, and Karen on his left arm, an angel tattoo with the name Kelly on his chest, and a scar on his left arm. He was last seen wearing a black shirt, Wrangler jeans, and white tennis shoes.
Aaron's family has never stopped searching for him. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact the Navajo Police Department.
