<<Roque Rivera, 5-foot-7, 165 pounds, was last seen near the Dole Cannery where his Ford Explorer was found. He was wearing a blue baseball cap with a United Airlines logo, a blue shirt with white stripes and blue jeans.

"He may be living as a homeless person," said Raul Rivera, Roque's son who arrived in Honolulu from San Francisco on March 25 after receiving a call from his father's friend, Rudolf Peschke. "He's never been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, but he may be. We've checked the beaches, his church, homeless shelters ... I don't think he's off island. I think he's either living as a homeless person or with someone. We need to find him."

Peschke said he grew concerned about Rivera after calling his house to confirm their weekly hiking trip. For the past 12 years, Peschke said, the two have spent every Monday hiking various trails across Oahu.

"He'd never go off without telling me," Peschke said.>>
