Seventeen-year-old Samantha Chun was last seen on January 17, 2025, in the Pupukea/Haleiwa area of Oahu’s North Shore after going to Ke Iki Beach with her boyfriend, 18-year-old Joseph Joey Fujioka.

Family members found personal items at Ke Iki Beach the morning after the pair were last seen, and Joey’s vehicle was located nearby. Ocean conditions that night were reported as extremely dangerous, with waves described in the 30-to-40-foot or 40-foot face range. A multiagency land, sea and air search followed; human remains found about 200 yards offshore on January 18 were later identified by DNA as Joseph Fujioka on January 23, 2025. Samantha remains missing and it is not publicly known what happened to her after the two reached the beach.

If anyone was in the Pupukea or Ke Iki Beach area on the night of January 17, 2025, or has information about Samantha’s final movements, please come forward.
