Jacob Niles, 24 when he traveled to Hawaii in August 2017, disappeared after arriving on Maui. He is described as six feet tall, about 170 pounds, with red or auburn hair and hazel eyes. Jacob had previously lived in the area and was known to spend time in upcountry Maui; his family last heard from him before a planned flight from Kaua’i to Maui.

Reports indicate he may have been experiencing homelessness after returning to Maui. No confirmed sightings or contact with family or friends have been recorded since his arrival, and the Maui Police Department opened an active missing person investigation. Public appeals for information have been made over the years but the trail has gone cold and his family remains without answers.

If anyone saw Jacob in Hawaii in August 2017 or afterward, or has information about his whereabouts, please share what is known.
