Advertiser Staff

Rescue crews will resume their search tomorrow morning for a 29-year-old visitor from Japan who went missing after swimming off the Hilton Hawaiian Village today.

The man went for a swim at about 9 a.m. and was last seen by family members at 9:30, police said. When he failed to return shortly before 2 p.m., family members notified authorities and a search for him began.
Honolulu Fire Department and city lifeguards searched the waters off the Hilton until dark. The search is expected to resume tomorrow morning, said Capt. Earle Kealoha, HFD spokesman.
