Details of Disappearance
Begaii was last seen on March 25, 2022. He left his residence in Dilkon, Arizona at about 10:00 p.m. and later was seen with friends, including Damien Niedo, another Navajo man from Dilkon, in Teesto, Arizona. Both Niedo and Begaii disappeared that night. There was a report of a shooting incident at the residence the following morning, and the case is still under investigation.
Three days before Niedo and Begaii disappeared, a Hopi woman, Keisha Kootswatewa, also disappeared from Teesto. Kootswatewa's cousin talked to witnesses who said there had been a house party, Begaii and Niedo had been shot and killed, and Kootswatewa was taken alive at gunpoint. This information has not been confirmed, however, and none of them have been located.
