William Romeo Bishop Sr.

Have you seen 76-year-old William Romeo Bishop Sr.? The elderly man from Puna went missing just weeks after the beginning of the year and Big Island police are asking the public again for any information that could help find him.

Bishop is described as 5 feet, 8 inches tall, weighing 170 pounds, Caucasian with a light complexion, gray hair and green eyes.

No one has heard from or seen him since the afternoon of Jan. 22 in the area of his home on 22nd Avenue in Hawaiian Paradise Park. His family is concerned for his well-being and offering a cash reward for information that could lead to finding him.
