Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP19483) and 9 other sources
In the late summer of 2008, concerns began to quietly grow for Annad Arkangel, a 66-year-old man of Filipino descent living on the Big Island of Hawaii. The last known contact with Mr. Arkangel was a telephone call with his son, who resided in California, on August 15, 2008. Following this conversation, a period of silence ensued, which would stretch on for months, transforming concern into a formal investigation. The exact details surrounding the day of his last contact remain vague, leaving a painful void for those who cared for him. His life on the island was somewhat transient; he had no permanent address but was a familiar face in the Kea'au area. This lack of a fixed residence would later present significant challenges for investigators trying to retrace his steps.

It wasn't until nearly ten months later, on June 3, 2009, that his son officially reported him as a missing person to the Hawaii Police Department. The passage of time between his last known contact and the official report created a considerable hurdle in the investigation, as memories fade and potential evidence can be lost. At the time of his disappearance, Mr. Arkangel was described as being between 5'5' and 5'11' tall, weighing approximately 110 to 125 pounds, with graying hair and brown eyes. Authorities on the Big Island launched an appeal to the public for any information that could lead to his whereabouts, circulating his description and the known facts of his case.

The years have passed since Annad Arkangel was last heard from, and his case has grown cold, leaving his family with unanswered questions. Despite the efforts of the Hawaii Police Department and public appeals for information, no significant leads have emerged to shed light on what may have happened to him. His disappearance is a somber reminder of the individuals who vanish without a trace, leaving behind a legacy of uncertainty and unresolved grief. The overview of this case highlights a man with a quiet life, whose last known communication was with his son, followed by an unnerving silence. The delayed reporting and his transient lifestyle in the Kea'au area created a complex scenario for law enforcement, and without further information, the circumstances of his disappearance remain a mystery.
