Hawaiʻi Island police issued a missing and endangered person alert Friday for Anthony Mangauil-Damore, a 31-year-old man reported missing from the Pāhoa area, asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to come forward.

The alert, issued March 13, 2026, classifies Mangauil-Damore as endangered. Police provided a physical description as part of the alert, though full details of that description were not immediately available. Specific circumstances surrounding his disappearance, including his last known location within Pāhoa, any vehicle he may have been traveling in, and the reason for the endangered classification, had not been publicly confirmed as of Friday.

Anyone who sees Mangauil-Damore or knows where he may be is asked to contact Hawaiʻi Island police at the non-emergency line, (808) 935-3311, or call 911 if the situation is an emergency. The department is headquartered at 349 Kapiʻolani Street in Hilo.

The Mangauil-Damore case is one of several active and recently resolved missing person situations the Hawaiʻi Island Police Department has been tracking in recent months. Police are also seeking the public's help locating 25-year-old James Fonseca, considered endangered and possibly in need of medical assistance, and 24-year-old Keikilani Hauoli-Kuoha, last seen in the Bayfront Highway area and also classified as endangered. In Kailua-Kona, police renewed their request for information on 82-year-old Jacquelyn Glenn in a second update to that case, noting she is considered endangered due to her age.

Not all recent cases remain open. On Feb. 10, 2026, police confirmed that 45-year-old Monica Iaukea, who had been reported missing and endangered, was located in Puna in good health. Police thanked the public for their assistance in that case. Missing person William Roscoe was also located, according to a department update, though no date or condition was specified in available records.

Pāhoa has seen more than one missing person case draw police attention in recent months. Hawaiʻi Island police have separately urged the public to provide information on the disappearance of 34-year-old Kelly Gravitt, also of Pāhoa, in what police described as a renewed appeal for leads.
