Big Island police have renewed their request for the public’s help in locating a 71-year-old Puna man who was reportedly last seen on March 18, 2004.

The man was identified as Hank Roberts Sr., of a Kalapana address. Roberts is described as a Caucasian male, being 5-foot-8 in height, weighing about 160 pounds and having gray hair and blue eyes.
