Chester Caluya was 17 and a senior at Kauai High School when he disappeared from Kekaha Beach in the early morning hours of August 6, 2006. Partygoers began to leave around 3:00 a.m. as police were reportedly shutting the event down. Chester became separated from the friends he had arrived with and was last seen with people unknown to his social circle before vanishing.

He is described as Filipino descent, 5 feet 6 inches, about 135 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a scar over one eyebrow and a mole on the right side of his upper lip. On the night he went missing he wore a black t-shirt with a picture on the front and light gray pants. Rumors of a fight at the party have circulated but have not been confirmed by authorities. The case remains open and the family continues to seek answers.

If anyone was at the Kekaha Beach gathering that night or has information about Chester’s last movements, please come forward.
