Woman's body found off Kalapana

[Pilgrim]

I agree with Hikatz. Maybe there have been angry words from tour guides or other residents of the subdivision. (There are definitely folks there who are a few malasadas short of a bakery box). But it still doesn't mean they had anything to do with this tragedy.

Here is the reply from Leigh, the blogger and lava photographer who is out there A LOT about the incident on Hawaiian Lava Daily from last December.

"Elaine:
Sorry to read of your experience at the entrance to Kalapana Gardens area... What you went through is not any way near the norm. I live right there and know all the Janguard Security people who oversee the visitors coming to see the lava flow... I have never heard of any of them ever do anything like you describe; they work for Hawaii County; overseen by the State. I also know nearly every tour guide that is currently operating tours; also none of the legit guys would intimidate you by letting the air out of tires.

There is only one guy that lives right near the entrance gate that has been caught letting air out of tires; he is a bit deranged and has been in trouble for this before. Again, I am very sorry you had a bad experience but I must stress that it was a very rare occurrence and is definitely not what locals are doing as some regular thing..."
