The Coast Guard recently suspended its search for two teenagers who went missing off the North Shore of Oʻahu.

17 year-old Samantha Chun, and 18 year-old  Joey Fujioka were last seen on Ke Iki Beach near Sharks Cove late Friday night.

Coast Guard and partner agency crews searched 2,321 square nautical miles for over 54 combined hours.

After Fujioka’s mother reported the pair missing Saturday morning, watchstanders directed the launch of a Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew to aid in the search.

Agencies involved in the search included:

  • Coast Guard Sector Honolulu
  • Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point
  • Coast Guard Station Honolulu
  • Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 140-01-10
  • Honolulu Fire Department
  • Honolulu Ocean Safety Department
  • Honolulu Police Department
  • Civil Air Patrol
  • Navy Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37
