I'm still interested. I was a member of one of the search parties and attended Jeffrey's memorial service. Although I'm no longer a resident of HI, I still hope for a conclusion to this mystery. Jeffrey's former bishop told me that he had "disappeared" once before. This revelation about...

I am saddened to learn that his mother passed away in 2016. She was a nice lady. I wish she had taken my advice and joined this forum so she could have provided clues we could work with. Does anyone have an update on Mary, Jeff's widow?

SIX calls for help? Don't recall seeing that before. I really wish Mary and/or Sandy would join this forum so we can get first-hand accurate info. I believe one of those television crime shows would love this story because it's so weird.

I have seen nothing new.

Well, this is either a Cold Case File or the police have a very patient strategy to solve it.

Anyone know the present disposition of the Meek truck? Today in Hilo I saw a very similar-looking one with license plate HLW 957.

Pahoa is the town where the "mellow people" hitchhike to. If you want to hide, Pahoa is the place; however, it is about 30 miles from where his truck was.

Everyone I have talked to about this disappearance since I was asked to join a search party said that before he disappeared, Jeff was not despondent in any way whatsoever. For example, according to the gentleman who was preparing the architectural plans for Jeff's dwellings on his Pepeekeo...

I don't suspect she was buying a vehicle, for she wasn't coming from the Shark Tank where the salespeople are, but from the Cashier/Parts office.

On Dec. 12th I saw Mary walking out of the Toyota dealership in Hilo toward the avenue. She was carrying her son James and looked sad. We were going in opposite directions, and she was walking quickly, so regretfully I didn't get the opportunity to speak to her.

That is sad. I hope she recovers quickly.

I don't believe you made a mistake. The newspaper said "The other was found...about a mile and a half away..." "The other," of course, is the second boot, which, according to the grammatical structure of the sentence, was 1.5 miles from the first boot.

I could not free the truck by myself. Without the key, it could be freed only by pulling it out with another truck, for example.

It was still there on Nov. 13th when I and others searched the area for clues.

It seemed to me this is a misunderstanding of a fact. I understood previously that both boots were found at the Point, which is "a mile-and-a-half" away from his truck, not that the boots were 1.5 miles apart. One boot was on the path leading to the water, and the other was in the water lodged...
