Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP63814) and 6 other sources

In the late afternoon of January 31, 2014, a 70-year-old man named Chang Ho Han walked out of his condominium in the Ala Moana area of Honolulu, Hawaii, and vanished. He was last seen at approximately 6:50 p.m. leaving his residence on Waimanu Street. Mr. Han, a retired limousine driver who had made Hawaii his home for two decades, was carrying the burden of both Alzheimer's disease and dementia. His medical conditions required daily medication, and his family noted that while he might appear coherent in a brief interaction, his health issues could prevent him from recognizing that he needed help. On the day he disappeared, he was wearing a red jacket over a dark blue shirt with thin red stripes, dark pants, black shoes, and a white baseball cap. He also wore a gold cross necklace and a black watch with a leather band.

Chang Ho Han is a man of Korean descent who speaks fluent Korean but has a limited command of the English language. His physical characteristics include white hair, brown eyes, a height of five feet five inches, and a weight of around 155 pounds. He has a few distinguishing features: he walks with a slight hunch, may use the first name Peter, and is missing the nail on his left middle finger. The community and law enforcement were alerted to his disappearance, and an extensive search was launched to find him. In the days that followed, there were reported sightings of a man matching his description in the nearby Kalihi area, but these leads could not be definitively confirmed, and the trail went cold. He was known to frequent the Ala Moana and Waikiki areas.

Years have passed since Chang Ho Han was last seen, and his disappearance has left a void in the lives of his loved ones. The Honolulu Police Department investigated his case, but despite their efforts, no trace of him was ever found. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are not considered suspicious, with authorities believing he likely wandered away from his home. The lack of answers has been a heavy burden for his family and the community. The overview of this case is one of a vulnerable elderly man, struggling with significant cognitive impairments, who walked away from the familiarity of his home and into the unknown. The initial search and investigation did not yield any conclusive results, and with no confirmed sightings or new leads, his case remains an unsolved and open missing persons investigation.
