Human remains found in offshore near Big Island's Kamilo Point in Kau
Big Island police have initiated a coroner's inquest case in connection with a Kona man who disappeared Saturday while picking opihi at Kamilo Point in Ka'u.
Divers yesterday recovered shorts, an opihi bag and human remains with what appeared to be shark bite marks, police said.
Fire Capt. Greg Kane said yesterday that divers were dropped into the area's waters by helicopter. Kane said the shoreline consists of cliff faces 30 to 40 feet high with open ocean waves that constantly crash on its shores.
Police have not positively linked the human remains to the missing man. An autopsy is scheduled.
Nathan Labarios, 58, of Kainaliu was reported missing at 4:45 p.m. Saturday by friends he was camping with at Kamilo Point, about five miles from South
Point, police said. They reported they had last seen him around 11 a.m. before he left to pick opihi alone.
