A 22-year-old woman with medical conditions requiring daily medication has not been seen since she left her Hookele Street home in Maili and boarded a bus toward Waipahu on Sunday morning, according to the Honolulu Police Department. Hailey-Jade Reveira-Fairbanks was last seen around 7 a.m., wearing a pink crop top, pink and red striped boxer briefs, black sandals, and carrying a rainbow-colored backpack. Her family and friends are described as concerned for her safety and well-being.
According to a missing-person notice from the Honolulu Police Department, Reveira-Fairbanks is 5-foot-3, weighs 98 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. She is described as Hawaiian and Filipino. Police say she was last known to have caught the bus to Waipahu, a route that would have carried her along Farrington Highway, the main transit corridor connecting the Waianae Coast to Oahu's central plains, according to Oahu Transit Services.
Riders and investigators tracing that stretch of coastline can lean on the Honolulu Estimated Arrival system and TheBus's mobile tools, which track vehicles in real time across more than 100 routes on the island, according to the Honolulu Department of Transportation Services. Service connecting Maili to Waipahu generally runs along lines like the CountryExpress! or Route 40, both of which funnel through the Waipahu Transit Center.
Why Police Moved Fast on This Case
Because Reveira-Fairbanks suffers from multiple medical conditions requiring daily medications, her case falls to the Honolulu Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, which takes direct responsibility for missing-person reports involving life-threatening medical needs, per HPD policy. Neither HPD nor any other Hawaii law enforcement agency is permitted to impose a waiting period before taking a report or entering it into the National Crime Information Center database — Hawaii Revised Statutes § 577-27 requires immediate officer notification and inter-agency reporting the moment a report is filed.
That urgency lines up with what state lawmakers have found about missing-person cases generally. The Hawaii State Legislature has cited law enforcement data showing that the first 72 hours after a person goes missing represent the most critical window for finding witnesses and locating someone safely, a finding legislators used to justify proposals for expanded emergency alert systems.
How to Report Information
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or CrimeStoppers Honolulu at (808) 955-8300. CrimeStoppers operates as an independent nonprofit working alongside HPD to collect anonymous tips by phone or through its P3 Tips app, though the organization does not pay cash rewards for missing-person cases specifically.
Reveira-Fairbanks's disappearance also fits into a broader and troubling pattern documented in Hawaii legislative records. Native Hawaiian individuals were disproportionately represented in publicly reported missing-person cases statewide between 2020 and 2022, accounting for 84% of such cases, while 77% of those reported missing in that period were female, according to findings presented to the Hawaii State Legislature.
State-level tracking tools exist alongside HPD's own bulletins. The Hawaii Department of Human Services maintains an active missing-person registry in coordination with county police departments and the Missing Child Center-Hawaii, publishing alerts for missing and endangered individuals across Oahu and the other islands. No additional details about Reveira-Fairbanks's circumstances beyond her last known movements have been released as the search continues.
