Eliesa Pahulu was 29 when he vanished from San Leandro, California, on June 11, 2001. Visiting from Tonga, he borrowed a cousin’s car to go see another relative but never arrived; neither Eliesa nor the vehicle has been seen since. At the time he was described as 5 feet 10 inches and about 250 pounds with black hair.

The disappearance remains unresolved and family in California and Tonga continue to search for answers.

If anyone has information that could help locate Eliesa or the car, please contact the local law enforcement agency handling the case or submit a tip through missing persons databases.
