Fran Uilani Kaniho disappeared from her home on Wright Road in Volcano Village on Hawaii’s Big Island sometime in August 1988. She was 19 at the time, of native Hawaiian and Portuguese descent, with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 4 feet 9 inches and weighing about 150 pounds.

The case is complicated by a long delay before authorities were notified. Her father reported her missing in 2002 and said Fran’s mother had taken her in 1971 when Fran was two, leaving him unaware that she had not been in contact since 1988. That gap left investigators with very few timely leads. The Hawaii County Police Department has periodically asked the public for help, but few details about the disappearance have ever been released and the matter remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Fran, lived in Volcano Village in 1988, or has information about her whereabouts, can you share what you remember?
