Advertiser Staff

The Office of the Public Guardian is seeking the public's assistance in locating a 68-year-old Waikiki man who has been missing for nine days.

In a news release today, state officials said Walter Sakoda wandered away from his home at the Ainahau Vista Apartments at 2428 Tusitala St. at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 11.

It's the second time in a month's time that Sakoda has wandered off. He was found after five days in October.

Sakoda suffers from memory problems and may be wandering around disoriented, officials said. He does respond to his name.

Sakoda is 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighs 130 pounds, and has gray hair, a mustache and wispy gray facial hair.

Anyone with information on Sakoda's whereabouts is asked to call 911 or 548-0006, ext. 16.
