Body recovered off Kaua'i identified

By Mike Gordon
Advertiser Staff Writer

Kaua'i county authorities today identified one of the two people killed when the Kaloko Reservoir breached as Alan Dingwall, 30, of Kilauea.

Dingwall's body was found Tuesday afternoon in waters off Kilauea. The body of a woman found last night in a streambed has not been identified.

Five people remain missing and a search resumed this morning, including Dingwall's wife and son.

The Hawai'i Urban Search and Rescue Task Force is conducting the ground effort while the Coast Guard is searching offshore waters.

Meanwhile, civil defense officials continued to monitor Kaloko and Morita reservoirs but said the volume of water at the Morita Reservoir has been reduced by four feet.

They also are watching the Waita Reservoir.

The island remains under a flash flood warning through 12:30 p.m.
