Kaua‘i police have renewed their call for help finding 64-year-old Julius Krizon Jr., who was reported missing after he was last seen on November 18, 2024. Krizon is known to frequent the Hanalei area and is described as about 6 feet 3 inches tall and roughly 230 pounds, with blue eyes and gray hair, according to the County of Kaua'i.

The Kaua‘i Police Department issued its latest alert on January 30 and asked anyone with information to contact KPD Dispatch at (808) 241-1711, according to a Kaua‘i County news release. Officials noted that Krizon has no known permanent residence, which they say complicates efforts to trace his movements.

Local outlet Kauai Now republished the county notice, restating Krizon’s physical description and the information about when he was last seen. The county also shared the missing-person alert, including a photo of Krizon, on its official Facebook page.

How to report sightings

Anyone with information is asked to call KPD Dispatch at (808) 241-1711. To remain anonymous, tipsters can call Crime Stoppers Kaua‘i at (808) 246-8300 or submit a tip online, according to Kaua‘i County. Police are urging residents and visitors in the Hanalei area to review any recent security footage and report possible sightings to assist investigators.

Why police renewed the appeal

Krizon was last seen more than a year ago, and KPD renewed the appeal this week in an effort to widen the search and refresh leads in the case, according to Kauai Now. Officials emphasize that individuals without permanent residences can be harder to track, and public tips often prove critical in long-running missing-person investigations.
