In the quiet, lush region of Volcano, Hawaii, a sense of unease began to ripple through the community in the latter part of 2015. Eddie Seenarine, a 49-year-old resident, had seemingly vanished without a trace. He was last seen in the Volcano area on September 30, 2015. Described as being 5-foot-9 and weighing 176 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair, Eddie was a familiar presence to those who knew him. His sudden absence was out of character, sparking concern among his family and friends who were accustomed to his established routines. However, a significant amount of time would pass before he was officially declared a missing person, a delay that would present considerable challenges for the investigation that was to come.
It wasn't until Christmas Day, December 25, 2015, that Eddie Seenarine was formally reported missing to the Hawaiʻi Island police. This nearly three-month gap between his last known sighting and the official report created a difficult starting point for law enforcement. The trail had grown cold, and any potential evidence that might have existed in the immediate aftermath of his disappearance was likely diminished or lost to the passage of time. Despite these obstacles, the Hawaii Police Department launched a thorough investigation and appealed to the public for any information regarding Eddie's whereabouts. In the years that followed, they would renew their requests for public assistance, keeping the hope alive that someone might come forward with a crucial piece of information. The community remained engaged, holding onto hope for a resolution and for answers that would bring peace to Eddie's loved ones.
For years, the case remained an unsolved and sorrowful mystery, leaving a void for those who knew and cared for Eddie. The uncertainty surrounding his fate was a heavy burden for his family. Then, in June 2025, a somber discovery was made. Human skeletal remains were found in a forested area on the 11-3800 block of 6th Avenue in Volcano, an area in close proximity to where Eddie had lived. The remains were carefully recovered, and through the process of DNA comparison, authorities were able to confirm the identity of the long-missing man. On December 23, 2025, the Hawai'i Police Department announced that the remains were those of Eddie Steve Seenarine. Subsequent examinations by a forensic pathologist and a forensic anthropologist concluded that there were no signs of traumatic injuries or foul play. While the discovery tragically marked the end of the search for Eddie, it brought a long-awaited, albeit heartbreaking, conclusion to a nearly decade-long mystery. The case, which began with a quiet disappearance, was ultimately closed, though the questions of his final days may forever remain unanswered.
