HONOLULU, July 9 (UPI) -- The wife of a Hawaii millionaire who has bipolar disorder said she is "beyond desperate" to find her husband after he disappeared over a week ago.

Steven Thomas, 36, founder of the anti-spyware software company, Webroot, went missing after being seen in the Waikiki neighborhood of Honolulu June 30, KITV, Honolulu, reported Wednesday.

"I'm pretty much beside myself beyond desperate. I was desperate three days ago," the millionaire's wife, Candis Thomas said.

Steven Thomas was staying at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel in Waikiki with his cousin and mother when he made an unusual remark, his wife said.

"And they were all on the balcony and he said to them 'This balcony isn't high enough for what I need to do,' and that really scares me," Candis Thomas said.

Candis Thomas said her husband was "having major panic attacks, he was very agitated, aggressive" the last time she saw him.

"He thinks everyone on the island is out to get him," she added.
