The backstory:<\/p>

Around 8:45 a.m. that morning, a good Samaritan found a backpack with some of the missing man\u2019s belongings in it near the trail and reached out to authorities, the Coast Guard said in a statement. His car was also found next to the trailhead entrance.\u00a0<\/p>

Coast Guard watchstanders broadcast an alert at 11:11 a.m. after the Honolulu Fire Department alerted them to the missing pair. A helicopter and 45-foot response boat were deployed by the Coast Guard to join the search. The Coast Guard expected to deploy a cutter to help locate the father and son, its statement noted.<\/p>
