Update: Kula teen reclassified as juvenile runaway; MPD asks for public assistance

The Maui Police Department is asking for the community’s help in locating 17-year-old Dayjahiah Valdivia, now classified as a juvenile runaway. A concerned family member reported her missing Saturday.

The Kula teen was last seen at her Kula residence at approximately 7 a.m. and had not returned as of Sunday night. It is believed she has her cellphone, but all attempts to contact her have been unsuccessful.
