According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System , Sanford Ishikawa was last known to have contact with others on April 6, 2001, in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. This date represents the final confirmed point at which anyone was aware of his whereabouts. From then on, his trail grew cold, and no definitive information has surfaced since.
NamUs registers Sanford’s case under MP146200, providing basic framework details but little else. This entry confirms his disappearance occurred in Honolulu and is still considered an unresolved missing-person case as of its publication in June 2025. While this confirms the existence of an official entry, no publicly available updates or additional leads have been posted.
An online search reveals virtually no news articles, public appeals, or local media coverage surrounding Sanford’s disappearance. The lack of reporting suggests that the case has either remained entirely private, received minimal attention, or possibly been overshadowed by other events. No posts on Crime Stoppers, SpotCrime, or local police missing-person boards mention Sanford specifically. This absence of public information highlights how some missing-person cases, especially in earlier years, can slip beneath the radar.
The presence of Sanford’s entry in NamUs implies that some form of law enforcement investigation was undertaken—potentially involving the Honolulu Police Department and/or federal agencies.

It remains unclear whether detectives identified person of interest, conducted searches, or followed up on tips related to his case. Strict NamUs and HPD protocols likely guided any initial investigative steps ....Read More
