Brandon Romero, 40, was last seen in the late afternoon at a clinic parking lot in Hana after traveling there from his Kihei residence for a medical appointment about persistent lower right side pain. He did not own a cell phone and kept in touch with family via social media; communication stopped after that clinic sighting. Family reported him missing on October 17, 2022, and the Maui Police Department’s Cold Case and Missing Person Detail opened an investigation.

The day after he was last seen, park rangers at Kaumahina State Wayside Park found Brandon’s blue 2005 Toyota Tacoma about 22 miles from the doctor’s office. The truck was unlocked and contained his wallet and keys. The vehicle was then gone from the park on September 8 and has not been located since. Brandon is described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 7 inches, about 155 pounds, with a shaved head and brown eyes. The circumstances of his disappearance are unclear.

Did anyone in the Hana or Kaumahina areas see Brandon or his Toyota Tacoma around the time he vanished?
