The family of a Waikiki woman who has been missing for a month pleaded for the public's help on Friday.

The last time Jacobs' daughter, Autumn Day, spoke with her mother was the day before she disappeared.

"It's so hard because there's nothing. It's like she just fell off the planet. It's hard because there's nothing to do," Day said.

Kimberly Jacobs, 47, disappeared the evening of Aug. 21.

Her husband said she was distraught over problems with a tenant in Los Angeles and a leak in their Waikiki apartment. Her purse and car keys were left behind.

It was a friend on the mainland who reported her missing.

"The two of them commiserate real well when they're not happy. So that's where I thought she was, and especially with all her stuff there, I wasn't that worried," Jacobs' husband, Stan, said.

Jacobs' family described her as outgoing and friendly and someone who would never abandon her family.

"She's a very upbeat, positive person that loved life and loved living here," Jacobs' nephew, Matt Williams, said.

Police have received about a dozen tips over the last month -- almost all of them in the Waikiki/Ala Moana area. However, they said there are no solid leads.

"I don't know. I don't know what happened to her. I'm hoping she had a nervous breakdown and she's hiding out somewhere. You know what I mean? That's what I'm hoping and praying for," Williams said.

Kimberly Jacobs is 5 foot 4 inches tall, 130 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes and walks with a noticeable limp.

Police asked anyone with information to call CrimeStoppers at 955-8300.

"Anything, even if it seems so small, it could be the thing, it could be the one thing we've been looking for, for almost a month now, and I just really want my mother back. It's just so hard," Day said.
