Glynda Evangelista

Glynda Evangelista, 75, was last seen April 24, 2017, on Kīlauea Avenue in Hilo.

At the time of the initial report, Evangelista was 5-foot-4, weighed about 200 pounds, with a medium build, short salt-and-pepper hair, hazel colored eyes, a fair complexion and wearing prescription glasses.
