SEARCH UNDERWAY FOR ANOTHER MISSING HAWAII HIKER, DAYS AFTER AMANDA ELLER RESCUED
Canine operators, helicopters, and search teams combed the Kapilau Ridge Trail in the West Maui Forest Reserve throughout the week searching for the 35-year-old Mina. Some searchers had been a part of the rescue team that found missing yoga teacher Amanda Eller alive on Friday, about 18 miles from the site where Mina's body was located.
Eller was lost in the forest for over two weeks and survived falling off a cliff. She had left her car in the Reserve as she went for a run in the forest and stopped to meditate shortly after, causing her to become disorientated and lose her way.

$61,091 were raised for search efforts to find Mina, according to a GoFund Me page that was set up.
