Clayton Kau said another person yesterday reported seeing Yoshida and her dog at about 5 p.m. Sunday on a path just off Waimano Home Road between the roadway and the fence line of the high school.

Yesterday, about 30 people and the HPD canine team searched for Yoshida. but Kau said there were no signs of the missing woman. He said police will determine this morning how much longer they will continue to look for her.
