Laura A. Vogel
Paia, HI
On the afternoon of February 21, 2010, Laura spent time at a friend’s house before leaving later that day. She informed her friend that she planned to camp under the stars near the Pauleheh Lighthouse, located on the north end of the island. At 8:20 p.m., Laura sent a text message stating that she was camping near the Birthday Pools and had met some locals. This was the last known communication from her. She has not been seen or heard from since. During the investigation, it was discovered that Laura’s cell phone made two brief, 30-second calls later that evening to an individual who records indicate that Laura had no known prior contact or connection with. At the time, he was homeless and living in a van near the area where Laura had planned to camp. Additionally, the individual had a documented history of sexual assault and aggressive behavior. If you have any information regarding Laura’s disappearance, please contact Maui County PD. Any detail, no matter how small, could be crucial in helping to bring answers to her family and loved ones
