Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP68842) and 6 other sources
In the spring of 2015, a sense of unease settled over the family and friends of 44-year-old Male Wynn Lindsey. On April 1st, he was last seen at his residence in the Makiki neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii. Reports from those who knew him indicated that he was emotionally distraught at the time of his departure. Lindsey, who also went by the nickname 'Kaili,' left his home in his 1999 Toyota Corolla, setting in motion a mystery that would linger for years to come. He was a man of mixed Caucasian and Hawaiian/Pacific Islander descent, with black hair, which was shaved at the time, and green eyes.

The day after he was last seen, his vehicle was discovered abandoned along the mountainous and scenic Tantalus Drive. The car was located near the Puu Ohia trail, a popular hiking area. The manner in which the car was found immediately raised concerns; the driver's side door was left open, and inside, investigators found his keys, wallet, and cell phone. These are items that a person would typically not leave behind, suggesting that his disappearance was not planned. The discovery of his personal effects inside the vehicle intensified the urgency and mystery surrounding his whereabouts.

In response to the discovery of his car, an extensive search of the rugged terrain surrounding Tantalus Drive and the Puu Ohia trail was launched. Despite the efforts of search teams, no trace of Wynn Lindsey was ever found. The case grew cold, leaving his loved ones with unanswered questions and a profound sense of loss. The investigation into his disappearance has remained open, a quiet and sorrowful chapter in the history of Honolulu. The overview of the case is one of sudden and unexplained absence, a man who, in a state of emotional distress, vanished, leaving behind only his car and a handful of personal belongings on a lonely mountain road. The lack of any further evidence or contact has made this a particularly difficult and enduring mystery for all involved.
