Crews searched most of yesterday on Windward O'ahu for Phillip O. Milos, 45, whose wallet and backpack were found Monday by hikers on a steep trail above Kahana Valley, said Honolulu Fire Department Capt. Emmit Kane.

The hikers told police they found the backpack at about the 2,000-foot level of the Crouching Lion Trail, which is narrow and recommended for "only for the most experienced hikers," Kane said.

Rescuers called off their search at about 5:30 p.m. yesterday because of unfavorable weather, but Milos’ 1989 Dodge was found yesterday morning at the La'ie Shopping Center, Kane said.

There was no evidence of foul play, nor were there reports of Milos being depressed, said police detective Phil Camero. Milos recently moved to Hawai'i from the Mainland and has no family here, he said.

Milos is 6 feet, 230 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes.
