Police are seeking Douglas Kruse, also known as Douglas Lee Cruz and Steven Kruse, who is also wanted for criminal contempt and no bail parole revocation warrants stemming from a prior felony burglary and theft.

Kahealani was last seen at the Pu'uwai Momi Housing at 99-185 Kohomua Street in Makalapa, between Buildings 1 and 3, on Tuesday before 3 p.m.

Kruse frequents the Waipahu, Pearl City and Halawa areas, police said. He is 37 years old, Caucasian, 5 feet, 8 inches, 145 pounds, with a medium build. He has brown hair and brown eyes

Family members tearfully pleaded today for the safe return of Kahealani.

"We'd just like to ask everyone if they see Kahealani or have information to call the police to help find her and bring her home to us," her father, Vincent, said. "I just want to tell Kahealani how much we love her and miss her."

About 30 Honolulu police officers, including members of the specialized services division, and three search dogs fanned out around the Pu'uwai Momi housing area near Aloha Stadium this morning. But officer Joe Self of the HPD missing persons detail said earlier today they had no leads.

"My inner feeling is not good," he said. "I don't feel good about this. None of the policemen in this case feel good about this."

Self surveyed the area by helicopter today before sending out his team. "We are going through every nook and cranny,"

Self said the girl was last seen by the family when she went to a nearby manapua truck and returned to the housing complex with a friend. No one knows what happened after that.

HOW TO HELP Those with information on Kahealani Indreginal are asked to call HPD investigator Phil Camero at 529-3394, CrimeStoppers at 955-8300 or *CRIME on a cell phone.

"It's still a missing persons case," Self said."We don't believe it's a runaway case." Self said the family initially searched for Kahealani, a sixth-grader at 'Aiea Elementary, before calling police about 8 a.m. yesterday.

"According to her family, she's never run away before and is thought of as a model student and daughter," said HPD investigator Phil Camero.

At least five detectives walked through the housing area last night, asking residents when they last saw Kahealani.

Kahealani's aunt, Wendy Cacatian, said the girl was seen getting off the school bus outside the housing area.

"She asked her older brother for a dollar to buy something from the manapua truck, that we know," Cacatian said. "It's just so unusual because she is the responsible one. She takes charge and takes care of her younger siblings and her nephew without anyone even telling her."

"Everyone we've talked to says she's a good kid, straight-A student, that it was unlike her to run away," HPD Lt. Bill Kato said last night.

"Right now, we're trying to sort out all the stories on when she was last seen, who saw her and whom she was with," he said.

Camero said police yesterday afternoon did a check of the neighborhood and interviewed 'Aiea Elementary faculty and students on Kahealani's possible whereabouts.

Pu'uwai Momi resident Vanessa Helsham said, "We're just praying she comes home soon."

Kahealani is of Hawaiian and Filipino ancestry, 5 feet 2 and 110 pounds with a slim build.

She has brown shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a beige corduroy long-sleeve shirt, beige corduroy pants and several gold Hawaiian bracelets.
