They were reported missing after not returning home last night. First responder agencies Honolulu Fire Department, Honolulu Police Department and Ocean Safety responded to the incident around 10:45 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18. Coast Guard officials joined the search around noon. "We got a helicopter in the air, we got a rescue company and an engine company currently actively searching," said Battalion Chief Chad Nakagawa. "We typically search for 72 hours, possible to extend beyond that depending on the circumstances." "The surf was coming up last night, so in the day it was not that big. But last night it's probably six to eight feet now. Lots of current, lots of tide, lots of water moving. It came up quick last night," said Ke Iki resident Kevin Tinneny. The National Weather Service had a high surf warning posted since yesterday for north facing shores. Officials say that the surf was said to be an estimated 40 foot faces last night. Ke Iki also has a reputation for being dangerous, as it claimed two lives earlier this winter. Lifeguards respond to fatal incident at Sharks Cove "Ke Iki beach: It's dangerous, it's deadly, it's not a good swimming beach. Go to a beach where we have lifeguards," Tinneny said. Raphael Pecoraro, a friend of the missing swimmers, said the two were on a date at Ke Iki beach when they went missing. He identified the two as Samantha and Joey. Pecoraro said that their car was found with their belongings such as their phones and wallets on the beach. "It's not like them. We were thinking if they were going to go in the water, it wouldn't make sense because the tide was high and like 25-30 feet," Pecoraro said. Friends of the two teens searched on the ground nearby, and are asking members of the community to stay faithful. Pecoraro described Joey as someone who would "drop anything to help you," and Samantha as "the most positive person you could know." He tells community members to "stay together and stay strong" and hope that the two can be located as soon as possible. Honolulu Ocean Safety is asking the community to avoid the area for safety reasons and so the search can continue uninterrupted. HFD suspended the search due to darkness at around 7:34 p.m. Saturday. The search will continue at first light Sunday. Find more Hawaii, Oahu, Maui and Kauai news here This is a developing story. KHON2 will update as more information becomes available.
