Gilbert Paul Caravallo was 35 when he was last seen in Pearl City, Hawaii, on October 6, 2004. He lived with his mother Paulette near Kamahao Place; she last saw him that morning as she left for work. Later that day he was with friends—walking to a store with a friend named Larry, then picked up by a friend Hans in a red Nissan truck. After a return to Gilbert’s home, Larry left shortly afterward and what happened next is unclear. Gilbert’s last known activity was a call from his cell phone at 4:22 p.m. that day.

When a week passed with no contact, Paulette pressed Hans about whether he had dropped Gilbert off; he at first said he had not seen Gilbert in months, then admitted he had dropped him off that day. Gilbert missed an October court date on a 2003 weapons charge, and a warrant was issued; his family says he would not have skipped it voluntarily. A search of mountains above Royal Summit turned up nothing. Reported sightings to the Honolulu Police Department have not been confirmed. The case remains classified as an endangered missing person.

Did anyone in Pearl City or the surrounding area see Gilbert around October 6, 2004, or have information about Hans, Larry, or Gilbert’s movements that afternoon?
