Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP70491) and 10 other sources
On a beautiful Hawaiian morning, Noemi Alcotas and her boyfriend, Jojo Acosta, embarked on a hike in the scenic area of Hanauma Bay in Honolulu. The couple was last seen at 7:00 a.m. on October 10, 2014. They ventured into an area known as the Rock Bridge, a picturesque but prohibited location frequented by hikers. It is believed that at some point during their hike, both Noemi and her boyfriend were swept into the ocean by a powerful wave. Later that afternoon, around 1:00 p.m., other hikers came across the couple's unattended bags on the rocks, which raised the initial alarm.

Tragically, the search that followed led to a devastating discovery. At approximately 3:00 p.m. on the same day they were reported missing, Jojo Acosta's body was found in the water near Hanauma Bay. This heartbreaking development confirmed the grave danger the couple had faced. Authorities launched an extensive and exhaustive search for Noemi, deploying resources on foot, by boat, by jet-ski, in the air, and even with divers combing the underwater landscape. Despite these thorough efforts, there was no sign of Noemi. The search for her continued for several days before officials ultimately had to suspend the active search pending any new information.

Noemi Alcotas was 34 years old at the time of her disappearance. She is described as an Asian female of Filipino descent, with brown hair and brown eyes, standing at 5'0' and weighing around 120 pounds. It was also noted that she had a medical condition that required daily medication. The prevailing belief among authorities is that Noemi met a similar fate to her boyfriend, a tragic accident in the powerful Hawaiian waters. Though the active search has been suspended, her case remains a painful and unresolved chapter for her family and friends. The disappearance of Noemi Alcotas serves as a somber reminder of the unpredictable power of nature and the profound loss experienced when a loved one vanishes without a trace.
