The search on Kaua'i for a missing 80-year-old fisherman was called off due to darkness today and will resume tomorrow.
Robert Nakashima Sr. of Kilauea was reported missing Monday night. Searchers previously located his fishing bag and pickup truck at Makapili Point near Secret Beach in Kilauea.
A Civil Air Patrol fixed-wing aircraft joined the search effort today at 4 p.m. Earlier this afternoon, divers began snorkeling along the coast of Kilauea as part of an expanded search, officials said.
Fire rescue specialists and lifeguards on personal watercraft searched the shoreline and water along the coastline from 8:45 a.m. today. Relatives and friends of the fisherman are assisting in the search.
