Melanie Rae Summer, 49, disappeared after an evening in the Kōkeʻe mountain area on Kauai. The last confirmed sighting was October 20, 1999, at about 9:30 p.m., when her car became stuck in a resident’s yard. A neighbor tried to free the vehicle without success. Melanie then went to a nearby house for help and was directed to a different neighbor. Reports say she spent the night at that neighbor’s home and left the next morning, but she was never seen again.

At the time she vanished she was believed to be wearing a green long-sleeved sweater, blue jeans, and white tennis shoes. Law enforcement searches turned up no trace, and there has been no activity on her Social Security number since her disappearance. The Kauai Police Department continues to list the case as unsolved.

Did anyone in the Kōkeʻe area in October 1999 recall seeing Melanie that night or remember her car stuck in the yard?
