Ikaika Gamponia, 28, was last seen in the remote Kahakuloa area of Maui on January 16, 2019. He is described as 5 feet 8 inches, 185 to 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The Maui Police Department opened a missing person case and he remains listed as missing.

Details about his final movements are scarce. Community reports—unverified by police—say he may have been involved in a police chase that ended with a car flipping and him fleeing on foot. His driver’s license was revoked at the time he disappeared. Family members say he struggled with methamphetamine addiction for years but was remembered as a hardworking, valued member of the community when sober. He had ties to Makawao, Maui, and to Las Vegas, Nevada.

Anyone with information about Ikaika’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Maui County Police Department.
