Police are seeking a 48-year-old Pahoa woman for questioning in the case of a missing 76-year-old Hawaiian Paradise Park man who disappeared in January.

Roberta Mokihana Perry is described as 5-feet-2 inches tall, 155 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

She’s wanted for questioning in the case of William Romeo Bishop Sr., who was reportedly last seen Jan. 22 near his 22nd Avenue home in HPP.

Asked if Perry is a suspect in Bishop’s disappearance, Capt. Rio Amon-Wilkins of the East Hawaii Criminal Investigation Division replied, “No, not at all.”

“She’s just someone we need to speak to,” Amon-Wilkins said, declining to specify what information police are hoping Perry can provide.

“There’s no way he would just take off, leave his wallet, his phone, and take his car,” Bishop’s son, Jay Bishop, told the Tribune-Herald last month. “It’s just not my father.”

Since his disappearance, Bishop’s credit cards have not been used, according to his family, but new evidence emerged after his 2019 silver Toyota Corolla was recovered by police.

The car was found Feb. 27 in Pahoa, according to his family.

Jay Bishop’s wife, Rachel Bishop, told the Tribune-Herald the car’s license plates had been altered, and the VIN number was covered up when police recovered the vehicle.

Woman sought for information on troubling Hawaii Island missing persons case

“She’s been actively avoiding police contact."

www.hawaiinewsnow.com

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - There’s a bizarre twist in a missing persons case on the Big Island.

Police are now asking for help to find a 48-year old woman who may have information about the disappearance of 76-year old William Bishop, who was reported missing on Jan. 22.

The woman, Roberta Mokihana Perry, appears to be dodging police.

Two bulletins were put out asking for the public’s help on the Pahoa woman’s whereabouts, the first in September and then another last week.

“She’s been actively avoiding police contact,” said Hawaii Police Capt. Rio Amon-Wilkins. “We have made appointments with her to come in, and she’s failed to do so.”

Amon-Wilkins said Perry does have a warrant for an unrelated theft case.
