Nana, maybe this will clarify that statement made by Esteban.(Bold portion) This whole thing is so disturbing and so sad. JMO.

Police are also poring over documents, which were subpoenaed, Esteban said. “We’re hoping we’re going to find information we’re looking for,” he said.
Johnson’s family contends he may also have been the victim of violence, and reported that a lava tour operator had threatened him if he persisted in giving tours after Johnson had taken his family out to see lava flows.
Esteban said they had investigated the allegations, and ruled out the tour operator as a suspect.
His mother earlier told the Tribune-Herald that police photos of the campsite did not look like a crime scene, and that there were no signs of a struggle in the tent.
Police have been unable to find Johnson, and one possible sighting proved to be a red herring.
A Pahoa hostel property manager identified Johnson from a photo lineup as a person who resembled someone who had rented a room and abandoned property there.
Detectives tried to verify the information, and excluded Johnson as that person.
Anyone with information concerning this case is asked to call Detective Robert Almeida at 961-2386 or Detective Fetuutuunai Amuimuia at 961-2278. Anonymous calls may be made to CrimeStoppers at 961-8300 or 329-8181.
