————————————————————–
Ranelle Rose Bennett has been missing from Waterflow, New Mexico since June 15th, 2021. The mother of two lived in Hogback, New Mexico at the time.
Ranelle, who often went by Tiny, was supposed to attend her daughter’s 10th birthday in Farmington that day but never arrived. She was last seen leaving her home in Hogback at 10 am after jumping in a vehicle with “friends”. Her boyfriend at the time indicated to law enforcement he last saw Ranelle quite a few days after she was reported missing. Law enforcement had plans to search the area he told them he’d last seen her. Three months after she disappeared family members found her shoes and a sweater in the northern part of Shiprock. Police were called and they collected the evidence but there has been no world on the evidence since.
Ranelle is Diné with black hair and brown eyes. She was 5’2 and 125 lbs at the time. She was last seen wearing an orange tank top and black sweatpants. Ranelle was dedicated to her children and had daily contact with them. It’s unlike her to be out of contact. Ranelle is listed as # MP86748 in NamUs and there are zero comparisons for her DNA/dentals.
Please call the Navajo PD’s Shiprock district at 505-368-1350, referencing case # 02-21-023555, with any information in the disappearance of mother Ranelle “Tiny” Rose Bennett.
