Mark Kamaki Cajski was a 20-year-old biology student at the University of Hawaii at Hilo when he vanished in the summer of 1996. On the morning of July 10 he was heard on the phone around 6:00 a.m., then left his dorm carrying snorkel, fins and mask but leaving all other personal items behind. He was also looking after a friend’s 1972 gray and white Toyota Land Cruiser.

Cajski failed to attend his 9:00 a.m. summer class. A woman later reported possibly seeing him drive the Land Cruiser out of the dorm lot between 10:00 a.m. and noon, a sighting that was never confirmed. Friends reported him missing by that evening; police notified the family on July 12. On July 13 the Land Cruiser was found abandoned in a gravel lot near Anaehoomalu Bay by Cajski’s brother. His backpack with wallet was recovered about a mile south of the vehicle the next day, but the snorkeling gear was not found.

Searches of the South Kohala shoreline and underwater areas produced no sign of him and were called off after a couple of days. Multiple reported sightings around the state prompted a renewed request for information in August, but Cajski has not been heard from since. Does anyone have information about his movements around Anaehoomalu Bay on or after July 10, 1996?
