Woman Who Vanished in Shark Attack While Snorkeling with Husband Was 'Following Dreams' on Hawaii Trip

The woman who disappeared while snorkeling with her husband in Hawaii earlier this month, which officials have concluded was a "tragic accident" caused by a shark attack, spoke about how she was "following" her dreams just days before tragedy struck.

Kristine Allen, a massage therapist and life coach from Bellingham, Wash., vanished on Dec. 8 in Maui as a large shark was seen in the waters, her husband, Blake Allen, told The Spokesman-Review.

In her final Facebook post, shared on Dec. 2, Kristine wrote about how she was "following dreams" during their trip by learning how to surf.

"I have wanted to learn to surf for years," she wrote, noting that the experience allowed her to understand the surfing metaphors she'd often used in a "deeper" way. "Our dreams give us the motivation to keep getting back up to catch the next one even if we got tumbled."

Continuing, she wrote, "Thank you Kainalu from Maui Surf and SUP! You are the best! We loved our lesson and the joy of riding

Kristine's colleagues honored her on social media, calling her a "bright light" and a "true friend to so many."

"Kristine lived with a joy and determination to squeeze absolutely every happiness she could from each moment!" reads a post from Infinite We, a health services company she founded. "She created a safe space for others to be themselves and to build a life they love, it was her passion and her purpose."

"Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband Blake and their family as they grieve," they added.

Rescuers searching for missing snorkeler following 'shark encounter' in waters near Kihei

KIHEI, Hawaii (KITV4) -- Emergency crews are searching for a missing snorkeler missing after a reported shark encounter in waters near the Kihei area on Maui, Thursday afternoon.

Rescuers responded to Keawakapu Point just before noon after a 911 caller reported a possible shark attack about 50 yards from shore.

An official with the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE) has only said first responders are on the scene of a “shark/human encounter.”

Officials with DLNR DOCARE held a press conference Thursday evening to provide an update on a missing snorkeler and a reported shark attack in waters off Keawakapu Point in Kihei on Maui.

First responders and officers from the DLNR DOCARE are on the scene attempting to account for all individuals who may have been involved.

The Maui Fire Department (MFD) launched several crews on skis. They also deployed dive crews and MFD Air 1. US Coast Guard aircraft are also conducting aerial searches, according to DLNR.

According to officials, a husband and wife were snorkeling about 50 yards off (beach) around noon when the husband said he spotted a shark swimming around. The husband made it back to shore but his wife was not with him.

Officials say the search will continue until nightfall and will resume in the morning, if necessary.

Shark warning signs have been posted from Manakai Condos to the north end of Waileia Beach.
