Glynda Evangelista, 68, disappeared from Hilo, Hawaii, after she was last seen on Monday, April 24, 2017, near the 500 block of Kīlauea Avenue. She was reported wearing a dark-colored jacket over an orange and yellow floral dress and carrying a blue backpack. Authorities classified her as endangered missing because she required regular medication.

Glynda is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 200 pounds, with short salt-and-pepper hair, hazel eyes, a fair complexion and prescription glasses. The Hawaiʻi Island police issued public requests for information in the days and weeks after her disappearance, and the family’s search has continued without a clear explanation for her sudden absence. As of early 2024 the investigation remained open and police were still seeking tips.

If anyone in Hilo around April 24, 2017, remembers seeing Glynda or the blue backpack, can you share what you know with investigators?
