Zoltowski, circa 1993
Jeffrey John Zoltowski
Missing since March 31, 1993 from Molokai, Hawaii.
Classification: Endangered Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance
Zoltowski disappeared on March 31, 1993 while hiking in the Wailua Valley on Molokai in the Hawaiian Islands. He flagged down a Dept of Land & Natural Resources helicopter which declined to fly him out. The ranger did however take his backpack back to the DLNR service yard where it sat for 41 days before any further action was taken.
It was the last known sighting of the Wayne State University student who volunteered at the Veteran's
Hospital and Detroit soup kitchens. As a Livonia Stevenson High School student, he was a popular football
player. Police and rangers have looked for him, and the U.S. Marines sent 38 men to the area for nearly a
week of searching. The family has talked to the FBI and other police agencies. No sign of Zoltowski has ever
been found.
Zoltowski had gone to Hawaii to explore, to possibly find himself and what he wanted to do. He arrived in
January 1991 for a four-month hiking vacation. He toured the islands and made friends with some local Hare Krishna members.
He may have been sighted in Kauai, Hawaii after his disappearance, but it has not been confirmed.
