Media Release
Steadfast in its pursuit of identifying those who take the life of another, Hawai‘i Police Department announces the launch of an Unsolved Homicides site within its website: https://www.hawaiipolice.com/unsolved-homicides.
The department believes every victim deserves justice, and that the deceased victim’s family, friends, and community deserve closure. The webpage currently features five cases dating from the early 2000s to the 1980s. Additional cases will added as more information becomes available. People with information pertaining to unsolved homicides may also submit tips anonymously on the website by clicking on the “Submit a Tip” button on the front page of the Department’s website.
“Hawai‘i Police would like to remind the public that there is no statute of limitations on murder,” said Police Chief Paul K. Ferreira. “We have staff dedicated solely to working all leads and evidence on these older homicide cases. Our detectives are deeply committed to solving these murders and see it as their solemn duty to bring these killers to justice.”
Hawai‘i Police Department recognizes that the department’s greatest resource in solving homicide cases is information from witnesses, family, friends, and our community. The department invites you to review the unsolved homicides summaries and if you have any information pertaining to any of these cases, please email the Unsolved Homicides Division at unsolvedhomicides@hawaiicounty.gov or call Detective Morimoto at (808) 961-2380.
Tipsters can also call Crime Stoppers at (808) 961-8300 and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000. Crime Stoppers is a volunteer program run by ordinary citizens who want to keep their community safe. Crime Stoppers does not record calls or subscribe to any Caller ID service. All Crime Stoppers information is kept confidential.
