The child also states in the same interview, however, that she believed Peter Boy was alive and in Honolulu.

Peter Boy has not been seen by family members other than his own parents since late 1996 or early 1997. In April 1997, when Peter Boy was 6-years-old, a relative reported to authorities that the boy had a broken arm that was not being treated and was possibly a victim of abuse.

His father, Peter Kema Sr., has told police and state Department of Human Services social workers that he took the boy to O'ahu and gave him to a long time family friend named Auntie Rose Makuakane.

Police have never been able to confirm her existence.

"The secrecy for eight years has not resulted in anything beneficial in this case," Koller said in a news conference yesterday. "There has been no justice for this boy."

According to DHS, at the time of his disappearance, Peter Boy was residing with his parents, Jaylin Kema and Peter Kema Sr.
