David Allen Janatka, 50, was last heard from on or around February 19, 2014 while on Maui. He had rented a car for a week and had previously visited Oʻahu’s North Shore and Waikiki. His girlfriend reported him missing on March 12, 2014 after being unable to reach him for several weeks.

On February 22, 2014 his rental car was found at the bottom of ʻUlaʻino Road in Hāna with a window partially open. His cell phone, car keys, luggage, wallet, identification, passport and cash were all inside the vehicle. Witnesses reported seeing him talking to himself and acting irrationally around the time he disappeared; family members said he sounded very anxious and exhausted during the last call. Some reports placed a person matching his description in the Keʻanae area after the last contact, and family speculated he may have gone hiking near the car, but searches turned up no trace.

The intact belongings in the abandoned car and the lack of further contact make the circumstances of David Janatka’s disappearance puzzling. Did anyone in the Hāna or Keʻanae area see him around February 19–22, 2014 or have information about where he might have gone?
