The new episode started airing Friday. In it, police ask for the public's help in locating 37-year-old John Hauoli and 31-year-old Ewa Gilbert. They are wanted for numerous theft and forgery cases involving the cashing of bogus payroll checks. Police ask anyone with information about their whereabouts to call Detective Kenneth Quiocho at 326-4646, extension 281.

"Hawaii Island's Most Wanted" also renews its request for help in locating 23-year-old Sean Ryan of California, a missing man who was last seen at a friend's home in the Fern Acres subdivision of upper Puna on Aug. 12.

The television program, which was prerecorded, also asks for the public's help in locating 44-year-old Harry Hose who was suspected in a home invasion robbery. Hose has since turned himself in and is no longer wanted.

The TV program's host, Major Jay Enanoria, asks anyone with information about any of the wanted or missing persons to call the police department's non-emergency number at 935-3311, or Crime Stoppers at 961-8300 in Hilo and 329-8181 in Kona.
