Police in Hawaii are searching for a missing woman who has not been seen since in nearly two weeks.
According to the Hawaii Tribune-Herald, Jacquelyn “Jackie” Glenn of Kailua-Kona, 82, was last seen at around on December 5 at around 6:30 a.m., in the 75-200 block of Nani Kailua Dr. in Kailua-Kona. Others, however, have claimed she vanished after playing cards with the friends at 9 a.m. that day.
Police have launched a homicide investigation, according to Glen’s brother, Chet Glen, who told the outlet he could not go into specifics.
“They’ve got the homicide squad on this. That’s what I was told,” her brother said.
Gerry Kahulamu, who identified herself as a friend of Jackie Glen’s, reportedly stated that Jackie left her scooter and car at her residence in the Pier 1 community. Her brother confirmed the information, adding that Jackie did not take her cell phone with her.
“She was going to take the bus to Hilo. The bus goes to the Hilo side, and it takes all day,’” Chet said. “But there’s no parking, no gas, no driving. … I did not speak to her about that.”
Chet said that his sister has taken the bus on previous occasions, but only a few occasions.
Kahulamu added that Jackie is in good condition. Others reportedly stated on social media that Jackie has no cognitive issues and does not have dementia.
“I’m 77, and she’s 82, and she’s in better condition than I am,” Kahulamu said. “She’s always got a smile on her face, just a positive person. She’s the sweetest, most loving lady.”
Island News reports that Jackie made mention of visiting Hilo with friends, but didn’t say when she would return.
Due to her age, she is considered endangered.
Jackie Glen is described as standing 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighing around 125 pounds. She has brown eyes and curly gray hair, and was last seen wearing blue jeans, a peach-colored shirt and black shoes.
