Hawai’i Island Police Renew Plea for Public’s Help to Locate Missing Pahoa Veteran, Kelly Gravitt

As time presses on, the search continues for Kelly Gravitt, a 34-year-old Pahoa man who mysteriously vanished over a year ago, prompting Hawai’i Island Police to issue another call for leads from the public on his whereabouts. Gravitt was last reported seen on May 19, 2023, near Pahoa Village Road and Kauhale Street.

Despite conducting numerous interviews and follow-ups, Area I Criminal Investigation Section detectives remain at a standstill in the case; meanwhile, Gravitt’s family has been left clutching at straws, their anxiety over his well-being escalating by the day, their desperation for any shred of information growing, as stated in a release from the

Kelly Gravitt, a combat-wounded veteran honored with the Purple Heart, is described as a Caucasian male, standing 6 feet tall, weighing around 180 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, and a beard at the time he was last seen.

The police and FBI are urging the public to report any information related to Gravitt’s disappearance. They are asking anyone with even the smallest clue to come forward to help ease the family’s pain and assist in solving the case. Tips can be submitted to the police department’s non-emergency hotline, the Area I Criminal Investigation Section, or the FBI Honolulu Field Office. Anonymous tips can also be sent through Crime Stoppers, which ensures tipster anonymity and may offer a reward of up to $1,000.
