On the early morning of January 10, 1990, 25-year-old Mildred Gumbo was last seen on windward Oahu before she vanished. Her body was later found along the roadside near Heeia Kea Pier; police reports say she had been assaulted and strangled, turning a disappearance into a confirmed homicide.

Case details say she had recently returned to Hawaii after about a year on the mainland and was staying with her estranged husband. He told investigators she went out with a man he described as local, came back, then left again hours later — taking his car. That vehicle was found abandoned two days later, on January 12, 1990, in the Kaneohe Bay Shopping Center parking lot.

The interval between her last sighting and the car’s recovery remains a central unresolved gap, and the identity of the man last reported to have been with her has not been publicly disclosed. If anyone knew Mildred, saw her that night, or remembers the man she was last seen with, please come forward with information.
