‘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.

Adoptive mother accused of murder is no-show in court, refuses transport for hearing over bail​

Another delay in the murder trial for Isaac and Lehua Kalua, who are accused of killing and dismembering the body of 6-year-old Isabella “Ariel” Kalua in 2021.

Lehua Kalua refused to leave the Women’s Community Correctional Center Friday morning for a court proceeding over bail.,

Kalua and her husband, Isaac, have been held without bail for three-and-a-half years since they were arrested in 2021.

Lehua filed a motion earlier this year requesting bail, and that issue was supposed to be addressed. It has now been reset for July 11.

“It is not uncommon for inmates to refuse to come to court,” said legal expert Victor Bakke, who is not involved in this case.

Bakke said it can happen because an inmate is ill or because they want to delay the proceeding.

Most of the time, the judge will reset the proceeding, but if the inmate does it more than once, Bakke said the judge can order them brought to court by deputy sheriffs without consent.

A judge could also “waive their appearance,” Bakke said. He added that’s not a first choice because the defendant has a right to be present at their own hearings.


The trial has been rescheduled 10 times for various reasons over the years. The latest, because the defense needed more time to go over the materials in the case.

The new trial date is October 13.
