TUBA CITY Five years to the day after Ella Mae Begay disappeared from her home near Sweetwater, Arizona, the only man charged in connection with her disappearance was no longer in federal custody, a date her eldest son described as cruel. Begay, a Diné woman, was reported missing June 15, 2021, according to the FBI. Early that morning, her vehicle, a gray or silver 2005 Ford F-150 with a broken tailgate, was seen leaving her residence.
