So she was sleeping with clothes and shoes on? Hmm

Maybe just in her clothes and they noticed the shoes are missing too?
What a little cutie with her big smile. I hope she’s found safe soon.

Puha St, Google Street View, looks like a residential neighborhood.

If you search her name on FB, it appears that she may have walked off. There are also additional pictures.

Thank you. I pray she’s found soon. How scary.

I couldn't find the Facebook page. But I don't think a six year old would wander off in the dark. Jmo.

There isn’t a specific page, but if you search her name, there is info.

There are at least 6 RSOs near where Isabella went missing, according to City-Data.com. Using Google Maps it appears that you could drive from Puha St. to each of their addresses in less than 10 minutes (2.2 miles).
ETA - 2 RSOs have addresses on Mekia St.

I hope Isabella is okay. Dear Lord, please protect this child and get her home safely.

Hmmmm, if she went to bed with street clothes on, she may well have been planning to leave -- a 6 year-old?? Black hoodie and black leggings -- it does sound like a get-away outfit.Why? With whom? Meeting someone? Or just out to play, and something horrible happened?
Scary.

Facebook page: “Hawaii News Now” has the Honolulu Police press conference from today (less than an hour ago). Maybe someone else can find a regular link to post?

Basically… still looking, public be on the look out. If people want to search, great. Listed as missing person. Requirements for an Amber alert not met.

 

[borndem]

It's been 24+ hours. Where is she? SMH.

I checked this news source to make sure it's legit.
Hawaii News Now - Wikipedia
Hawaii News Now (also abbreviated as HNN) is the name of the news department shared by two television stations in Honolulu, Hawaii: CBS affiliate KGMB (channel 5) and NBC affiliate KHNL (channel 13).

‘Please rally together’: Police turn to community in search for missing 6-year-old in Waimanalo

Sources told HNN that CPS has taken the siblings of the missing girl as the intense search continues.

Scores of police officers spent much of the day in the area looking for the girl. In addition to regular vehicles and going door-to-door for information, police used dogs and ATVs in their search.

She is said to have been last seen sleeping in her room at 9 pm Sunday, but has anyone seen what time she was reported missing?

I wonder what the back-story is. CPS didn't waste any time removing her siblings from the home.

 

[Unalienable Rights]

Per following from KHON2 News, Isabella and her 3 siblings were recently adopted. I wonder if her biological parents might have anything to do with her disappearance. Probably not, because if that was suspected it would probably have been made public. I also wonder if all 4 siblings have the same biological parents.

Hopefully she is safe. Wonder if she tried to get back to her bio parents? Moo

"Scared for her. Heartbroken, still looking," said Lana Idao, who said she is Kalua's biological grand aunt.


Even though she and her family haven't seen Kalua for about 5 years since she was taken into foster care -- Idao said they felt it was their responsibility to help find her.


"She's our blood, you know," Idao said.

I wonder how long ago the adoption was finalized and if she maybe went by a different name prior to adoption. I know it is fairly common for families to change children’s names upon adoption.

bbm
Hmmmm. Is this SOP for CPS in Hawaii or other states or counties?
I think it may be a good procedure -- to protect the other children from possibly being kidnapped, or simply for the protection of the other siblings.
