Police suspend search for Alaskan woman who went missing in Hawaii

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Lauren Cameron of Anchorage has been missing since Dec. 11, and a multi-day search ensued.

In a press release Kaua’i Police Department stated the search for 32-year-old Cameron has been suspended as of Saturday.

Multiple agencies have been involved in the search for the past three days.

Family members said Cameron was vacationing in Hawaii with her boyfriend and was last seen Wednesday. She was reportedly swept out by a strong current as she swam in the waters off Hanakāpī‘ai Beach.

“Our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Lauren,” said Kaua‘i Fire Department Chief Michael Gibson in a written statement. “Thank you to our first responders and partners for their efforts with this search.”

There is currently no published information regarding why the search was suspended. Alaska’s News Source reached out to Kaua’i Police Department for comment and have yet to hear back.

2026 Sony Open field is announced. See who’s playing in Hawaii

The Sony Open in Hawaii has the honors of being the kickoff event to the 2026 PGA Tour season after the cancellation of The Sentry at Kapalua this season.

Instead of Maui, the Tour debuts in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, Jan. 15-18, at the Seth Raynor-designed Waialae Country Club, where Nick Taylor prevailed in a playoff over Nico Echavarria last year.

Among the changes this season is the field size, which was reduced from 144 to 120, and, there is no longer is a Monday qualifier offering four spots. Will that help with pace of play? Stay tuned.

The field includes the following notables in addition to Taylor and Echavarria: Daniel Berger, Keegan Bradley, Michael Brennan, Corey Conners, Tony Finau, Chris Gotterup, Brian Harman, Russell Henley, Billy Horschel, Robert MacIntyre, Collin Morikawa, Adam Scott, Jordan Spieth, Sahith Theegala, Gary Woodland and 62-year-old Vijay Singh.

Here’s the full field for the Sony Open, which will be live on Golf Channel all four days as well as NBC with early-round coverage on Saturday and Sunday.

This year’s Sony purse is $9.1 million and the winner also will receive 500 FedEx Cup points.
