HONOLULU, HAWAII: The vanishing of a man in a tourist spot in Hawaii has deepened a mystery that has already been baffling people. Jesse Glen Pinegar, 23, an experienced hiker and camper, went missing on Kalalau Trail, which is one of the most dangerous trails in Hawaii. In January 2008, Pinegar visited Kauai by himself. He made the trip from Utah and rented an apartment on the island.

Pinegar told his family he would return a few months later, according to The US Sun. However, his father began searching for him when he did not return by March. Pinegar's father arrived on Kauai but found his son's apartment clean with nothing out of place. He then started handing out flyers and offering a $5,000 reward for information. Pinegar, however, was nowhere to be found. His father eventually returned to Utah.
