Woman's body found off Kalapana - terracore - 05-30-2013
A fishing boat in waters off Kalapana hooked a grisly catch early Tuesday morning, police said.
At 6:28 a.m., police and fire personnel responded to a report of a body caught in a fishing line from a boat in the ocean off one of the lava viewing areas. Another vessel in the area contacted authorities and remained with the body until divers from the Fire Department and their helicopter recovered the remains and met with police at a temporary landing zone.
Police said the body is that of a Caucasian woman possibly in her late 20s or early 30s, about 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-8 with a slim build, short brown hair and a tattoo of �Veritas� on her lower back.
Police have not ruled out foul play, said Lt. Greg Esteban of Hilo Criminal Investigations Section.
�There are suspicious injuries on the body,� he said early Tuesday evening. He declined to elaborate.
The case is classified as a coroner�s inquest, and detectives are continuing to investigate. An autopsy is scheduled for this morning to determine the exact cause of death.
�We have yet to identify this female,� Esteban said.
Detectives are reviewing recent missing persons records in an attempt to identify the woman, but Esteban said that no possible matches had been found as of early Tuesday evening.
Asked how long it appeared the woman had been dead, Esteban replied: �I�m no expert in that, but it doesn�t appear that she�d been in the water very long.�
Police ask that anyone who may know the woman or who may have information contact Detective Robert Almeida at 961-2386or ralmeda@co.hawaii.hi.us or Detective Fetuutuunai Amuimuia at 961-2278 or famuimuia@co.hawaii.hi.us.

I can understand not being able to correctly guess the age really close but "about 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-8" what, they can't measure?

There's been an awful lot of murdering going on around here lately. You can talk all you like about how these are usually the result of some personal grudge or low-life backstory, but there is a deep sickness underlying this. So sad for such a beautiful place.

It is terribly sad. It is bad enough if the young woman drowned while out having fun. Being murdered is another scale.

Gruesome...it speaks to the caliber of some of the people living here.

What is wrong with people? I just don't get these people that are so fundamentally broken and they are nonsensical.

Hawaii has one of the lowest homicide rates in the US.

5-4 to 5-8
Id thing measuring a loose decomposing body found in saltwater while it laying flat would be an estimate ie 5-4 to 5-8
common sense IMO
