Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP147846) and 1 other source
Michael W.F.C. Ng Jr. was 18 years old when he was last known to be in Honolulu, Hawaii, on June 25, 1994. NamUs lists him as a missing person under case MP147846 and identifies Honolulu as the place of last contact, with the Honolulu Police Department associated with the investigation. He is described in public case information as a young man of Asian and White/Caucasian ancestry, with black hair and brown eyes, standing about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 105 pounds. On the day he disappeared, he was reportedly wearing a T-shirt and dark blue jeans.

The known account of Michael’s disappearance begins at home. He left in his mother’s vehicle after saying he was going to the movies with friends, a detail that gives the case an especially painful ordinariness: a young person leaving for what sounded like a normal outing and never returning. The vehicle connected to him, a green 1992 Lexus SC300 coupe with Hawaii license plate JB-BB, later became a central part of the timeline. Public case data states that the car was seen in the area of the Halona Blowhole on June 26, 1994, at about 7:00 a.m., and was later found abandoned on the side of the road near the Halona Blowhole at about 5:10 p.m. that same day. The vehicle was eventually released back to his mother, but Michael was not found with it.

The Halona Blowhole area is a dramatic and dangerous stretch of Oahu coastline, known for ocean water surging through rock formations and for shoreline conditions that can change quickly. Years after Michael vanished, local reporting about a separate fatal incident at Halona described warning signs, slippery ledges, steep cliff edges, powerful surf, and the difficult balance between public access to scenic coastal areas and the risks posed by the ocean and terrain. That context does not explain what happened to Michael, and it should not be treated as proof of any one theory, but it does help show why the location where the vehicle was found has remained such a significant and troubling detail in the story.

The investigation has remained tied to the Honolulu Police Department. Publicly available Honolulu Police Department policy explains that its Criminal Investigation Division is responsible for investigating missing person cases involving unusual circumstances, and CrimeStoppers Honolulu continues to direct anyone with information about missing persons to contact CrimeStoppers by phone or through a web tip. NamUs, a U.S. Department of Justice-supported national missing and unidentified persons system, exists to help investigators, families, forensic professionals, and the public share and cross-reference missing person and unidentified remains information. Michael’s case being listed there keeps his name, description, and disappearance details accessible to anyone who may know something.

For Michael’s family, the known facts leave a painful gap: an 18-year-old left home for the movies, his mother’s car was later found abandoned near Halona Blowhole, and the public record does not provide an answer about where he went or what happened after he left. The passage of time does not make the loss less meaningful; it only underscores how much one missing piece of information could still matter. In overview, Michael Ng Jr.’s case is the unresolved disappearance of a Honolulu teenager last known to have left home in his mother’s car on June 25, 1994, followed by the recovery of that car the next day near the Halona Blowhole, with the central questions still focused on what occurred between his departure, the vehicle’s appearance near the coast, and his continued absence.
