Woman's body found off Kalapana

[Ruth Johnson]

Thank you for having the courage to post your testimony. I encourage you to write an affidavit explaining those circumstances, even if you don't turn it in to the HPD. This is what happened to Bo and me at the house we were renting in Kalapana before he found the land he wanted to buy and moved there. We were threatened by what sounds like the same man, working for the same company, even brazen enough to wear his red work shirt while trespassing on our rented property. It is scary and perhaps even foolish to tell the HPD about this, but there are other outlets that would protect your anonymity until they are behind bars, as I fully believe they will be. The more people with similar stories about this man, the more believable they are, and the more we can publicly establish his true character. There is no doubt that some corruption is going on, and at the very, very least, some extremely poor investigation, and here is one reason why: I attempted to contact the police just shy of 20 times over the course of a few weeks about the threats made to us both by a lava tour guide, and they have never even spoken to me, let alone ask for any details about Bo or the man who threatened to kill him. If it sounds like a cover-up, that's because it is. I have no doubts about that. Thank you all for your continuing support.
