Overview
- The pair left a Waikiki-area hotel for the Hanauma Bay Rock Bridge Ridge Trail and did not return after setting out Tuesday, prompting family to report them missing.
- Passersby found a backpack with the father's phone and wallet near the Rock Bridge area about 8:45 a.m., and police were notified shortly after.
