Friends and family of a missing pregnant Maui woman will meet this morning to resume a search, focusing on the Hāna Highway between Haʻikū and Keʻanae.

Carly “Charli” Joann Scott, 27, was last seen on Sunday night in Haʻikū and was last known to have left the area to assist her ex-boyfriend who family members say asked for help in getting his car out of a ditch in the East Maui area near mile post 20 of the Hāna Highway.

The woman’s dog, who was with her when she went missing, was found near the Nāhiku Market Place, and family members say her vehicle was located last night in Peʻahi mauka of the surf spot known as “Jaws.”

A search party will meet today at 8 a.m. at the Door of Faith road in Huelo.
