Officials said she was last seen wearing a black bikini top and floral print bottoms.

MD is 5 feet 3 inches, weighing 120 pounds with brown shoulder-length hair and a tan freckled complexion.

Police seeking missing Big Island teen believed to be in danger

PUAKO, Hawaii (KITV4) -- Hawaii Police are seeking the public's help in locating a missing girl last seen Friday afternoon in the Waikoloa area.
15-year-old MD was last seen on the south side of Anaehoomalu Bay on September 16, 2022 between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

She is 5'3" tall, weighs 120 pounds with brown, shoulder-length hair and has a freckled complexion. She was last seen wearing a black bikini top with a floral bottom.

If she is seen, please call police at 911 immediately.

MD's cousin, Mahana Cumiford, said MD had been at the beach with her boyfriend and mother.

"It seemed as soon as the mom left this guy must've been stalking her from the bushes or something because he came out, blindfolded her boyfriend, held my cousin at knifepoint and had her tie her boyfriend up," said Cumiford. "He had put something in the boyfriend's mouth to drug him and when he had woken up my cousin was gone."

Cumiford said MD's boyfriend is shaken up, and speaking with police. She adds, her cousin is not the type to run away.

Police say MD may be in the company of a local male described as being approximately 45-60 years-old, 5'10, with an average build, and bareback wearing gray shorts.

Police ask anyone with information on his whereabouts to call the Police Department’s non-emergency line at (808) 935-3311.

Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous may call the island-wide Crime Stoppers number at 961-8300.

Prayers for her safe return. Men are sick out there.

I do have to ask, forgive me because I watch too much tv.... did the mom return to find the boyfriend still tied up? What mysterious "lurker" just happens to time his crime right and do all this before the mothers return? And he ONLY had a knife? I'm 48 and in really good shape. I can't catch teen kids fleeing from me on a beach.

In the meanwhile, hopefully this child is returned safely.

He must have been watching them for some time to know that he would need rope and some sort of knock-out drug on the beach.

Are there other witnesses or camera footage, or is it only the boyfriends info?

My question also, because as described it's quite an extraordinary event.

I think we all have the same questions. Since it is a breaking case, not many details have been given as of yet. When the boyfriend woke up was he still tied up, and if so was he able to free himself or did someone else find him? Who called the police? Hopefully the answers to our questions will be reported in MSM.

Most importantly, I hope that MD is safe and will be located soon.

Quite extraordinary indeed. I have so many questions…

So what substance, placed in someone's mouth, will knock them out quickly and completely? Let's pretend spitting it out wasn't an option. Sleeping pills are going to take on average a half hour to take effect. Benzos work faster but wouldn't reliably make someone unconscious. Chloroform evaporates quickly, making ingesting it less likely than inhaling it.

Were they all alone (the two of them and the kidnapper) on the beach? Did nobody see what happened...How do they know that the guy who took her is a local? What do we know about the boyfriend?

This is very concerning. sounds like he had a car since her dress/phone pinged 20 miles away near an airport. There has to be some kind of CCTV there. IMO

I have so many questions however, LE has issued an Amber Alert so they must have some sound evidence.

Rohipnol? It works pretty fast.

I'm not on Facebook, but for those of you who are, her aunt made a post that she asked to be shared and it would probably be easy to find. Several YouTube channels are sharing the post on their community boards and/or videos and that is where I saw it. I wish it could be brought here because she gives more information about the abductor's appearance, describes the materials he used and gives some significant information about the area and activity near the beach. I'm hoping this information will find its way into MSM.

You're right, Rohypnol (or any date-rape drug) could create a rapid-onset blackout.
Very scary. He could have given it to MD too. Don't want to think about that to much.

It's possible he intended to give it to her, but realized he could give it to her boyfriend to make the abudction easier. :(
