Big Island police are again asking for the public's help in locating two children who were not returned to their legal parents after a visit with their birth mother last month.
The birth mother, Diana Tamura, 30, is also being sought. Police have classified the case as a custodial interference investigation.
The girls' parents reported that they dropped off Chelsea Gouveia, 5, and Celeste Gouveia, 11, with Tamura the morning of May 27. The parents said Tamura failed to return the girls at a pre-arranged time later that morning.
Police have issued an all-points bulletin for Tamura and the two girls. Police have received reports of sightings in Honokaa and the Boiling Pots area of Hilo but have been unsuccessful in locating the trio.
Anyone with information about their whereabouts is asked to call Detective John Ancheta from the Juvenile Aid Section at 961-2276.
Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at 961-8300 in Hilo or 329-8181 in Kona. Crime Stoppers calls are kept confidential.
