Akaka Falls State Park was closed all day Saturday while Hawaii County Police searched for a man who allegedly went missing Friday evening.

Lt. James Gusman said park attendees reported about 9 p.m. Friday a vehicle was left at the park after closing.

Later, it was discovered the vehicle belonged to 53-year-old Jeffrey Reyes.

According to a police report, Reyes is described as 5-foot-5, 135 pounds with short brown hair and a medium build.

Gusman said police searched for Reyes for a couple of hours Friday night, and continued the search Saturday.

The park was closed all day Saturday while officials searched for Reyes by air and land.

Gusman said there’s no evidence of foul play and did not make a comment as to when the park would be reopened.
