Joseph Wyatt, 37, was last seen at his Honokōwai residence on the evening of Thursday, February 3, 2022, after telling a friend he and his dog Mana were going camping and sending a photo from Honolua Bay. He attempted a follow-up call that night that went unanswered and left no voicemail. When he did not make contact by Saturday, February 5, his girlfriend reported him missing.

Wyatt’s car was later found parked and unattended at Nākālele Point, a coastal area with a powerful blowhole; his car keys and passport were inside. Mana was found the day after Wyatt’s last known contact, wandering near the vehicle and physically unharmed. The Maui Police Department, Maui Fire Department and U.S. Coast Guard conducted an extensive search, then suspended official operations after 72 hours while family and friends continued searching.

At the time he disappeared he was described as 5 feet 8 inches, 165 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes, last seen in beige shorts, a blue shirt and brown Olukai slippers. Authorities said foul play was not initially suspected, but no definitive explanation has been established. Does anyone who knew Joseph or frequented Honolua Bay and Nākālele Point around February 3 have information that could help clarify what happened?
