Advertiser Staff

Firefighters and police were searching late last night for a 76-year-old man lost off the Old Pali Road.

The man's wife called 911 shortly after 7 p.m., said HFD Captain Richard Soo.

She said he had gone to the Judd Trail to search for bamboo. When he hadn't returned by nightfall, she and his son became concerned.

Soo said the Fire Department helicopter, Air One, searched the area until shortly after 8 p.m., when it became too dark to continue an air search.

Firefighters and police officers continued the search on foot.

The man's car was found parked near the trail, Soo said.
