Antonio Castro, 75, was visiting family in South Kihei, Maui, in early 2007 when he disappeared after leaving for his usual late-afternoon dip at Keawakapu Beach. He was last seen about 5:00 p.m. on March 14, 2007, wearing black swim shorts. His shirt and goggles were found on the shore, but no one actually witnessed him enter the water.

An extensive search by the Maui Police Department, fire department, and Coast Guard turned up nothing and was called off after several days. Family-led searches continued, including flyers, a private helicopter and dive team. The family later learned he had missed several doses of thyroid medication; his doctor said that could cause disorientation and memory loss, leaving open the possibility he wandered off rather than went into the ocean.

Antonio was a Los Angeles resident, a grandfather and a husband of more than 50 years who enjoyed family, faith, woodworking and swimming. Does anyone who was in the Keawakapu Beach area that afternoon or who remembers seeing Tony around March 14, 2007 have information to share?
