These people took the time out of their sundays, because they felt passionately about the injustice our fellow Americans have been experiencing. I’m glad that there are people like that in this world.

In 1988, 12-year-old Jie Zhao Li vanished while selling Zippy’s Chili fundraiser tickets for her school in Honolulu — her mother has kept the same phone number since 1988 in case Jie ever tries to call home.

On February 11, 1988, 12-year-old Jie Zhao Li (sometimes reported as Jie Zhao) disappeared while selling fundraiser tickets for her school in Honolulu, Hawaii. Jie was a 6th-grade student at Royal Elementary School.

That day, she was going door-to-door selling Zippy’s Chili fundraising tickets.

Jie lived with her parents and two sisters in an apartment on Nuuanu Avenue. Before she left, her mother asked her to be home by 6:00 p.m. and even gave her a wristwatch so she could keep track of time. Jie promised she would be back on time, but she never returned.

At about 4:45 p.m., Jie was last seen outside the 7-Eleven at Nuuanu Avenue and Kuakini Street, just a few blocks from her home.

Witnesses recalled her speaking to people entering and exiting the store, asking if they wanted to purchase tickets. She was also seen approaching people as they got in and out of their cars.

Some witnesses later reported that Jie may have gotten into a 1955–1957 Chevrolet sedan.

Investigators compiled a list of every registered Chevrolet of that make and model in Hawaii and personally checked each one, but the lead went nowhere.

That evening, when Jie failed to return home, her parents searched for her. She was officially reported missing the following morning.

The Honolulu Police Department launched one of the largest missing child searches in Hawaii’s history.

Over the course of eight weeks, more than 39,000 man-hours were spent canvassing neighborhoods, distributing fliers, checking vehicles, and interviewing witnesses. Despite the extensive effort, no trace of Jie was ever found.

Investigators also looked into a man of interest who was reportedly mentally ill and had a disturbing encounter with another girl at the same 7-Eleven.

At times, he made statements such as, “I’ll show you where she is,” leading police to search the Nuuanu Stream area with SWAT teams and dogs.

Nothing was discovered, and he was never charged.

Jie was described as obedient, bright, and close to her family. She had no history of running away, and authorities strongly suspect she was abducted by a non-family member.

Jie was born in China, and her family emigrated to Hawaii in 1985. Because of the one-child policy, Jie and her younger sister had been hidden before the family came to the U.S.

Her mother, Ly Yan Li, later said the pain of her disappearance has never faded. She has kept the same telephone number since 1988 in case Jie ever tries to call home.

At the time she went missing, Jie was 4’11” tall, weighed 75 lbs., and had black hair and brown eyes.

Her case remains unsolved.

Anyone with information is urged to contact

the Missing Child Center Hawaii at (808) 586-1449 or

Crimestoppers Honolulu at (808) 955-8300.

This was a journey, we started at around 6:45am and finsihed at around 2am the next day. We did stop to eat and enjoy the view but totally worth it even though I am sore. Finally biked around Oahu including Kanea Point. I just thought I'd share.

Snorkeling Death Mask

966 Upvotes

Hi Everyone - this is a post for anyone thinking about snorkeling using a full face mask. My SO was using a full face mask at Sharks Cove this past Thur. and went into respiratory failure that lead to a cardiac injury using one of these. We came to find out later, that 100% of the 1st responders - firemen/women, paramedics, ER nurses/doctors ALL said the same thing. These masks are killing people. Several folks told me that islanders don't use them. A member of our group said that they understood that several snorkeling tour vendors don't allow them. I buddy swam my SO back in from about 60-70 yards from shore while they were in full respiratory failure. I had four doctors, including a cardiologist in Kailua, say that the injury was a heart attack. DO NOT USE THIS MASK!
