Stacey Haunani Kelekoma was 14 when she vanished from Anahola on the island of Kaua’i in the late summer of 1986. Accounts of her last known whereabouts conflict: one version places her at a party at Anahola Beach Park, while a more widely circulated account says she was last seen at her boyfriend’s home. He told investigators he went to the store and returned to find the television on, the door open, and Stacey gone; her slippers were left by the door.

Stacey was described as of Hawaiian and Portuguese descent with brown hair and brown eyes, a round, freckle-like beauty mark on her left ankle, and a six- to eight-inch scar on one elbow. The case was initially classified as a runaway and years later reclassified as an endangered missing child. A flight attendant reported a possible sighting in California later in 1986, but that lead was never confirmed and the trail went cold.

The fundamental uncertainty about where she was last seen—at a crowd or at a private home—has complicated the investigation and left many questions unanswered. If anyone knew Stacey, where she spent time in Anahola, or has information about the unconfirmed California sighting, please come forward.
