19-year-old pregnant woman from Schofield Barracks still missing after two weeks
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Two weeks after a pregnant woman from Ewa Beach disappeared from Schofield Barracks, her family is expanding their search.
The mother and sister of 19-year-old Mischa Johnson spent the day putting up missing person flyers in Aiea. They tell HNN they are not giving up their efforts to bring her home.
Hundreds of flyers have gone up, and more are being printed to reach the Aiea and Pearl City areas.
“We just hit Waikiki this weekend. Now we’re getting like central Oahu,” said Marianna Tapiz, who joined her mother in putting up flyers on street poles and storefronts, places that would grab as many eyes as possible.
Mischa Johnson was last seen on July 31 at her home on Schofield Barracks.
She’s described as Filipino, 5-foot-2, weighing 170 pounds. She also has a distinct large dragon tattoo on her back.
Johnson is six months pregnant and married to a service member on base.
“We just coordinated a walk on base to bring awareness,” said Johnson.
The Army’s criminal investigation unit is the lead on the case. Updates have been limited.
HNN asked the Army if there were any suspects or leads, and it did not answer our question.
In a full statement issued on Wednesday, U.S. Army Hawaii said:
Locating Mischa, support to the family, and the safety and security of all personnel at U.S. Army Hawaii installations remains our highest priority. As a result of the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) actions dating back to when Mischa was reported missing, U.S. Army Hawaii officials currently assess no threat related to this ongoing investigation to Schofield Barracks and the U.S. Army Hawaii communities. We encourage anyone who may have information regarding Mischa Johnson to contact CID.
A $10,000 reward for information on Mischa’s whereabouts is still being offered.
“Coconut wireless, right? This island is too small,” said Tapiz.
The family hopes that flyers will help bring new leads to the case and welcomes the community to put up more.
