Carl E. Steffler, 66, was last seen in the early morning hours of October 3, 2019, in Kaunakakai on Moloka’i. Surveillance from Kaunakakai Harbor shows a man matching his description walking to the end of a catwalk at about 3:30 a.m., setting items down, entering the water and swimming south toward the harbor opening; the camera never shows him returning. The harbor master found personal belongings at the same spot around 6:00 a.m. and turned them over to police.

A neighbor reported hearing Steffler moving about his home about 1:00 a.m., and a social worker who had not seen him that day alerted authorities. Multi-agency searches with ground crews, divers, jet skis and aircraft were conducted amid winds of 17 mph and swells up to 6 feet, but no sign of Steffler was located. Authorities noted he had previously exhibited suicidal ideations. Does anyone have information about Steffler’s movements on October 3, 2019, or recall seeing him near Kaunakakai Pier that night?
