The person at the center of this case
Sundown Johann Franklin Scrigna
Justice for Sundown Johann Franklin Scrigna — the trail went cold in 2015, but the truth hasn't.
Start here
Why was there a 3+ year delay between Scrigna's last contact in December 2015 and the missing person report filed in January 2019?
Who were the 'individuals of questionable character' that neighbors reported Scrigna associated with?
Is there any verifiable evidence supporting the unconfirmed speculation that Scrigna moved to Colorado?
Sundown Johann Franklin Scrigna, a 33-year-old male, was last contacted on December 1, 2015, in Pāhoa, Hawaii, but was not reported missing until January 2019 when his brother filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department. Multiple searches of his last known address on Kula Street in Leilani Estates found the property abandoned and overgrown with no signs of recent activity, and investigators have found no financial activity, sightings, or evidence of his whereabouts. The investigation was suspended in February 2020 pending new leads, leaving open questions about whether Scrigna attempted off-grid living, relocated to Colorado as unverified speculation suggests, or met with foul play.

Official wording
NamUs case MP160619. Missing person: Sundown Johann Franklin Scrigna.
Last known contact: 2015-12-01 in Pāhoa, Hawaii, HI. Circumstances: The Hawaii Police Department generated a Missing Person investigation for Sundown Johann Franklin Scrigna documented under Incident Report No.
19‑000334. The case originated from a report filed with the Los Angeles Police Department and forwarded to Hawaii authorities in January 2019.
Initial attempts to locate Sundown at his last known address on Kula Street in the Leilani Estates Subdivision were unsuccessful. The property lacked posted address numbers, was heavily overgrown, and appeared abandoned.
Neighbor inquiries indicated Sundown had not been seen for several years, and one neighbor reported he previously associated with individuals of questionable character. Multiple searches of the property were conducted throughout 2019.
Each visit confirmed the residence was unoccupied, overgrown, and showed no signs of recent activity. Efforts included verifying NCIC entry, conducting area canvasses, and attempting repeated contact with Sundown’s brother who had filed the initial report.
His brother stated he last had contact with Sundown in 2015 and believed his brother might have attempted off‑grid living or temporary farm work. He confirmed shared ownership of the property but reported no authorization for anyone to reside there.
Social media checks and public media releases yielded no leads. Continued investigative follow‑ups through late 2019 and early 2020 produced no new information.
His brother reported no financial activity linked to Sundown and only unverified speculation that he may have moved to Colorado. With no sightings, evidence, or activity indicating Sundown’s whereabouts, the investigation was suspended on February 18, 2020, pending new information or leads.
