Steven White was 58 when he was last seen in Makena on June 12, 2011. He had emailed his daughter saying he planned to spend several days kayaking and solo diving off Maui; that message is the clearest window into his intentions before contact was lost.

Concern grew when Steven failed to board his scheduled return flight to North Carolina and his backpack was later found floating in the ocean near La Perouse Bay, a stretch of coastline known for rugged lava shoreline and open-ocean conditions.

The Maui County Police Department is identified as the investigating agency and the case appears in NamUs as MP56623. If anyone was in Makena or the waters near La Perouse Bay around June 12, 2011, or has information about Steven’s trip, please come forward.
