HONOLULU (KHON2) — A Mililani woman is pleading for help in finding her missing father who suffers from dementia.

******
Katherine Burr last saw her dad “Bill” on Sunday, Oct. 1. He was diagnosed with dementia a couple of years ago, but Katherine said he had his own second opinion.

“He argues with you when you try to point it out that he does,” Katherine said. “Tracking device was his phone, which he didn’t take with him. I tried putting something in his wallet, which he promptly took out.”

Katherine has put up fliers in Waipahu, Waikele and Mililani Town Center — all within walking distance of their Mililani home.

Police said Bill was last seen walking alone around 8:30 a.m. on Monday in Waipio.


“I’m just looking for any help I can get,” Katherine said, “if you’re in the parks over the weekend to just, you know, take a little bit of extra time to look around.”

I wonder if Mr. Burr was ever found or if he is still missing. Remains have been found in the area.
