William Romeo Bishop Sr., 76, was last seen on the afternoon of Sunday, January 22, 2023, near his home on 22nd Avenue in the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision in Keaau on Hawai’i Island. Family found that his wallet and phone had been left behind, and he was considered endangered because of his age. He is described as a Caucasian man, 5 feet 8 inches, about 170 pounds, with gray hair and green eyes.

Authorities initially believed he might have been driving his silver 2019 Toyota. The vehicle was recovered in February 2023 in nearby Pahoa, but details about where or how it was found have not been released and the discovery did not resolve his disappearance. Investigators sought to speak with a woman they identified as a person of interest; police said she was not considered a suspect.

The Hawai’i Police Department’s Area I Criminal Investigation Section has conducted numerous interviews and follow-ups, and Bishop’s family has offered a cash reward while continuing to appeal for information. If anyone knew William, saw his car, or has information about his movements around January 22, 2023, please come forward.
