Leonardo Diaz, 30, was last heard from in early September 2019 after sending a goodbye text to his father on September 3. He was seen at his residence at 10:30 p.m. on September 4, 2019, and a witness reported seeing him about 7:30 a.m. the next morning walking along Haneo’o Road toward Hamoa Beach wearing only surf trunks. Around 10:00 a.m. that same day a visitor to Hamoa Beach found his car keys and cell phone on a rock wall near the shoreline; his other belongings, including his vehicle, were left at home.

Fire crews and a helicopter searched the coastline and nearshore waters without finding him. There have been no confirmed sightings or significant leads since, and the circumstances of the goodbye text and abandoned personal items remain unexplained. If anyone in Hana or who was at Hamoa Beach that morning in September 2019 has information about Leonardo’s movements, please come forward.
