Mia Yokoyama Mcdonald, 57 and a Las Vegas resident who had previously lived on Oahu, disappeared from the cruise ship Patriot in early February 2001. She was last seen in her cabin at about 6:00 p.m. on February 8 as the ship left Hilo for Kona. The Patriot continued to Kona and then to Honolulu, where it was discovered after docking on the morning of February 10 that Mia was no longer on board.

Her cabin held most of her belongings — luggage, purse, money, and identification — and the bed was neatly made. The only item noted missing was her passport. There were no immediate signs of a struggle, and the ship did not keep a daily passenger movement log, which investigators said complicated efforts to establish when or where she might have left the vessel. She was reported missing on February 17, 2001 after attempts to reach her by mail failed.

Does anyone who sailed on the Patriot in early February 2001 or who knew Mia remember seeing her during that leg of the voyage?
