‘We need all of Hawaii’: Police encourage community to rally together to locate 6-year-old girl in Waimanalo​

CrimeStoppers and the Honolulu Police Department are seeking the public’s help in locating 6-year-old Isabella Kalua who went missing from her home on Puha St. in Waimanalo on Sunday, Sept. 12.

“We need all of Hawaii. Please rally together in helping us bring her home,” Sgt. Chris Kim of CrimeStoppers said on Monday.

Kalua was last seen sleeping in her room at approximately 9 p.m. Sunday. She was wearing a black hoodie, black leggings, colorful socks and Nike slides with pink bottoms.

A family member said Isabella and her three siblings were recently adopted by the family. The family member told KHON 2 News Child Protective Services took the siblings from the home as the search for Isabella continues.

Police have opened a missing person case. There is no Maile Amber Alert due to certain criteria not being met.

“I think it’s fair to say that until she’s recovered, HPD is not going to stop looking for her,” Kim said.

Judge denies motion to dismiss case against adoptive parents of murdered 6-year-old​

The case against a Waiamanalo couple accused of murdering their adopted 6-year-old daughter will move forward.

In November 2021, Lehua Kalua and Isaac “Sonny” Kalua were indicted on charges including murder and hindering prosecution in the death of Isabella “Ariel” Kalua.

The 6-year-old was reported missing in September 2021 and her body was never found, despite hundreds of search hours by law enforcement and community volunteers.

On Monday, a Circuit Court judge denied Lehua Kalua’s two motions to dismiss the indictment, which claimed defects in the charging language.

Judge Paul Wong said the grand jury indictment was sufficient and properly alleged all of the required elements of murder in the second degree and hindering prosecution.

The Kaluas are being held without bail at Oahu Community Correctional Center.
