HONOLULU (KHON2) — The U.S. Coast Guard suspended their search for a missing woman on June 6.
Khilye Hamadani, 21, was last seen at Daniel K. Inouye Internation Airport on the night of June 2. In total, search crews looked for Hamadani over 1,200 square miles and for over 100 combined hours.
Hamadani’s mobile phone was traced to Spitting Cave, her bag was found near China Walls and shoes matching her outfit description were found in the ocean two miles off Waiʻalae Beach Park.
“Suspending a search is one of the most difficult decisions to make and only made after careful consideration of all available information,” Lt. Cmdr. Michelle Rice, search and rescue mission coordinator, said. “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Hamadani during this difficult time.”
Coast Guard officials began their search on June 3 alongside the Honolulu Fire Department and the Honolulu Ocean Safety Department.
