KOKE‘E — Missing hiker Pam Wilcox Dohrman, 72, of Hanalei, was found Monday morning off the Kaluapuhi Trail in Koke‘e, according to county officials.
Rescuers report that aside from exhibiting signs of dehydration, Dohrman is in good condition. Rescuers are now preparing to walk her out of the trail where she will be treated by on-scene medics.
Dohrman was reported missing late Saturday night after taking a walk from her Koke‘e cabin at roughly 2:30 p.m. that afternoon and failing to return.
Rescue personnel, including firefighters from the Kaua‘i Fire Department, police officers, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources personnel and volunteers with Kaua‘i Search and Rescue canine team had been searching for the missing hiker since Saturday night.
Up to 60 volunteers from the community, including Dohrman’s family members, also assisted in the search efforts.
Due to inclement weather, the county’s Air 1 helicopter could not assist in today’s search effort. Instead, rescuers and volunteers split up into groups and covered the trails on foot.
One of the search teams located Dohrman off the Kaluapuhi Trail at around 11:30 a.m.
Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
