In a turn of relief amid concerns, the Hawaii Police Department confirmed that Shadrach Unea, a 39-year-old man previously reported missing, was found in good health in Hilo on July 29. The update, as shared on a Nixle alert, provided a resolution to the tense search since his disappearance.

However, the community's focus had not yet been granted full reprieve as the search for Iris Kalanui, a 66-year-old Hawaiian woman, continues. Iris was reported missing since July 27th, last seen around the vicinity of Mamo Street in Hilo, as additional details regarding her appearance, and a call for public assistance were released, per Hoodline's coverage of the escalating situation.

Authorities and loved ones maintain their vigil. The call to aid in the search echoes through the streets of Hilo, where family and friends, involved in a canvassing operation alongside law enforcement, exemplify a collective determination. In times where each second bears weight, the community’s bond over shared anxieties and fervent hopes becomes the undercurrent of an exhaustive search.

The police, acknowledging the community's concerted efforts, encourage anyone with information to step forward. While details might appear inconsequential, the reminder stands that they can hold substantial weight in the narrative of the missing. The Hawaii Police Department can be contacted at 808-935-3311 for those inclined to contribute any leads, and in cases warranting immediate response, the directive remains clear: Dial 9-1-1.

For further updates and information about Iris Kalanui's case, the public can refer to the official release shared by Hoodline and continue to follow any forthcoming reports. The engagement of the Hilo community in these efforts imparts a message of perseverance and hope, one that resonates until resolution is found, as it was with Shadrach Unea.
