Echoes in the Night: The Unresolved Disappearance of Loida Wideman

---

Background and Last Known Movements

Loida Gabon Wideman, a 39‑year‑old Filipino‑American mother of three, was working as a certified nurse aide at Ka Punawai ‘Ola nursing home in Kapolei, O‘ahu. On the evening of May 13, 2012—Mother’s Day—she left her residence in Waipahu at approximately 9:30 p.m., driving her 2003 gold Saturn Ion with Hawaii license plate NBN 186, intending to head to her shift. She never arrived at work and has had no known contact since.

Discovery of Her Vehicle

Four days later, on May 17, Loida’s car was found, unoccupied and secured, parked along Lehua Avenue near First Street in Pearl City—about 1½ miles from her home and well off the route to her workplace. Authorities conducted an investigation: a bloodhound tracked her scent from the vehicle onto a bike path, leading to a cluster of dumpsters—but the search yielded no additional evidence.
