Kaua'i police today identified seven people who disappeared when the Kaloko Reservoir burst.The names of the missing, as given by police, are Daniel Arroyo, Alan Dingwall, Aurora Fehring, Rowan Fehring-Dingwall, Christina Macnees, Timothy Noonan and Wayne Rotstein.

Although police identified her as Christina Macnees, Paul Burns said his sister's name was Kristina McNeese. She was seven-months pregnant and was scheduled to marry Arroyo on Saturday, Burns said.
Rotstein was the maintenance man and landscaper at the home of Bruce Fehring, a real estate agent and principal broker on Kaua'i, according to Rotstein's brother, Gary Rotstein.
Officials did not give the relationship of Aurora Fehring and Rowan Fehring-Dingwall to Bruce Fehring.
Kaua'i officials still have not identified the 30-year-old man whose body was found 1 mile off shore Kilauea Bay by the Coast Guard yesterday.
Kuhio Highway in the vicinity of Kilauea between mile markers 21 and 22 is still closed but state Department of Transportation officials hope to have a single, contra-flow lane opened by 3 p.m. today.
In Koloa on Kaua'i's southern end, the Waita Dam is being monitored as water spilled into the concrete area and flowing into Waikomo Stream, as designed, county civil defense officials said.
