Laura Vogel: Missing Since 2010 on Maui’s North Shore | Revisited: 035
from Beneath the Palms: Hawaii's True Crime, Mysteries & Untold History · host Aku Bone Media
In February 2010, Laura Vogel sent one final text from Maui’s North Shore. She said she was camped near the birthing pools and meeting the locals. Then the woman who loved wild places, taught science, coached soccer, studied wildlife biology, and helped people see the natural world more clearly was gone. This revisited episode of Beneath the Palms goes deeper into Laura’s life before the disappearance: her New Mexico roots, her years as a standout Eldorado soccer player, her work as a wildlife biologist, her teaching, her coaching, her love of the outdoors, and the people who still remember her with love. We also walk through the verified timeline: the last text, the missed tutoring job, the van found near Pauwela Lighthouse, the missing phone and wallet, the search by friends, family, police, fire crews, dogs, divers, aircraft, and volunteers, and the unanswered questions that still remain. Where the record becomes uncertain, this episode clearly separates verified facts from family belief, public discussion, and theory. Laura remains missing. No one has been charged. No one has been convicted. Her case remains unresolved. If you know anything about Laura Vogel’s disappearance, contact Maui Police at 808-244-6400 or Maui Crime Stoppers at 808-242-6966. Case number listed by the family: 10-14126.
