Loida Wideman, a 39-year-old mother of three, was last seen the evening of Mother’s Day, May 13, 2012, leaving her Waipahu home around 9:30 p.m. to drive to her job as a nurse’s aide. She got into her gold 2003 Saturn Ion and never arrived for her shift; there was no activity on her phone or credit cards after that night.

Four days later the Saturn was found abandoned on Lehua Avenue near First Street in Pearl City, several miles from her home and not on her route to work. A bloodhound reportedly tracked her scent from the vehicle along a bike path to a cluster of dumpsters, but searches turned up no evidence. Community volunteers searched the Pearl Harbor Bike Path in the following weeks with no breakthrough.

Attention focused on her ex-husband, Lonnell Reginald Wideman, who had a prior conviction including attempted murder and was arrested five days after her disappearance on parole violations; authorities have not named him a suspect. There has been no confirmed out-of-state travel; the disappearance is described as suspicious. Does anyone who knew Loida or who was in Waipahu or Pearl City that week have information that could help explain what happened to her?
