Hawai‘i Island police have identified the remains of man reported missing in December 2015 as 50-year-old Eddie Steve Seenarine of Volcano.
This June police were alerted to the discovery of human skeletal remains in a forested area on the 11-3800 block of 6th Avenue in Volcano, which is in close proximity to where Seenarine lived.
The remains were identified by DNA comparison.
A forensic pathologist and forensic anthropologist conducted separate examinations of the remains and concluded there were no traumatic injuries or indication of foul play.
Police ask anyone who may have information relative to this case to contact Detective David Po‘ohina of the Area I Criminal Investigation Section at (808) 961-2385 or via email at David.Poohina@hawaiicounty.gov.
