Mr Yettaw is reported to be a father of six and a veteran of the Vietnam war. He is also believed to be a Christian, although some reports describe him as a Mormon.
Burma's New Light of Myanmar state media said Mr Yettaw was a psychology student from Falcon in the US state of Missouri, although US embassy staff in Rangoon say they have not been able to confirm these details.
A John Yettaw is listed in US public records as living in Falcon and in various places in California.
The Independent newspaper in the UK quoted a woman identified as Mr Yettaw's ex-wife as saying this was his second trip to Burma.
He is said to have told travellers he met in Asia that he was working on a project - one person told the Independent he was writing a book about human rights abuses, while other sources have said he was working on a faith-based book.
The circumstances which led to the arrest are unclear, but Burmese media reported that Mr Yettaw was detained as he swam away from Ms Suu Kyi's house.
They say he was carrying a large water bottle, presumably as a buoyancy aid, as well as a US passport, a torch, pliers, and US and local currency.
he BBC's Jonathan Head says it is unclear what Mr Yettaw's motives were for reaching the house and how he was able to spend so long in the compound.
A lawyer for Aung San Suu Kyi said Mr Yettaw had broken into her house once before, in December last year, and immediately been sent away by Ms Suu Kyi.
But this time he spent two nights sleeping on the floor.
Lawyer Kyi Win described the incident as a security breach, saying Ms Suu Kyi had not invited Mr Yettaw to the house and asked him to leave.
A US State Department spokesman said on 13 May that the embassy in Rangoon had stressed the US government's "strong interest" in the case and their concerns for Mr Yettaw's welfare and treatment. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
