It seems like a majority of people local and non-local, mostly agree, not all is well in Puna. It is possible that right now, through this tragedy, that a change can take place. It will take the locals, the Royals, the Johnson's, local and national media. It will take courage and sacrifices. The alternative is things go back to status quo. The situation in Puna has been played out all over the planet, over the span of history. Tyrants, mafia, gangs, thugs, drug dealers, human trafficking, extortion, corruption. Some of it to a lesser degree and some to greater degree; Puna is where it is and only the locals truly know to what degree. Good people can overcome the oppression, but it usually takes some event as a catalyst to begin the process.
Good people of Puna this is your opportunity for a new beginning, to become free of tyrants and corruption. If you act. Everyone is holding a piece of the same puzzle. But you have to start putting it together, sharing your piece to complete the puzzle. The search for truth of any given situation usually has a beginning. So let's start with Brittany who was already living in Puna before Bo got there on vacation in January.
I know she had a boyfriend Lief, and had some involvement at Uncle Roberts selling local produce and perhaps was involved with the local music scene. Who else were her friends? Who was she before she met Bo in Puna? What did she do, how did she survive? I know Bo felt Brittany and a few other women were in trouble (involved in unhealthy activities) when he met her. One of the reasons he wanted her to come to Alaska with him. I know when he first met her he wanted to help her. Is there anyone willing to bring their piece to this puzzle? Anyone who knew Brittany in Puna before Bo. Anyone that knows when she arrived in Puna?
There are those who say they want to get to the truth. Well let's start at the beginning. Are you serious or just creating sound bites? The truth will come out eventually. There are now, just to many interested and dedicated individuals needing to know the truth and they will not go away. So decisions need to be made about getting serious. People have facts and knowledge and that is more useful than theories or speculation or mud slinging.
Brittany's involvement before Bo could just be the first piece of the puzzle that could point to a motive for someone to have wanted to murder Brittany and Bo. The police are only looking to Bo as a suspect. Interestingly, they haven't asked for the Marshall's or FBI offices to include him on their most wanted lists in Hawaii, Alaska or anywhere else he might have fled to. A fact that can be verified by searching their websites under wanted persons. So the Hilo police aren't looking to hard for him.
It has been mentioned in previous posts that perhaps the baby wasn't Bo's and that's why he killed Brittany, because he found out. Well maybe someone else, a local, found out and knew that baby was their's and not Bo's. And now Bo was trying to buy property and start lava tours and he was also going to raise this part-native baby with his Haloe wife in Puna. That would certainly enrage someone who hates Haloes enough to put them over the edge to do such a heinous crime. That's all for now. Are you willing to bring your piece of the puzzle and help solve this mystery? Are you willing to change the status quo and create a new reality in Puna? Are you willing to Say Aloha and stand behind it's meaning and intent without hypocrisy?

Lower Puna is so bad, cops used to the place like the plague. Locals that have lived here a loooooong time will tell you cops only really started going and responding to calls in lower puna about twenty years ago. Same thing with Ocean View on the other side, it's been cleaned up a lot in the past 10 years but most cops wouldn't go up the mountain past PK street. And for a long time, the only cop that would respond (if you were lucky) was so corrupt that everybody in Ocean View was scared of him. I remember when he got busted by a tourist sexually assaulting those young girls on the side of the road, and that got hushed up real fast because it would have ruined the real estate bubble that was happening there. Then he ran a woman off the side
of the road and tried to kill her because she had reported being repeatedly raped by Te same officer! The 911 calls to dispatch were intentionally ignored! But this woman wouldnt back down and kept fighting and finally officials actually had to act because of public pressure. They quietly suspended him long enough to cover it up, and later decided to promote him, go figure:

Also, what about the cop over in Puna that ran over his wife and tied her up with the yellow rope? It was the local pressure that got that case the attention it deserved:

It's so bad that the police even did a huge survey about local trust in police, and only 32 percent view local police positively, and nearly 1/3rd of the island said they would not feel comfortable reporting to police:

I could go on, and on, and on...and I encourage both families to read/ask about local corruption here.
Fact is, doesn't matter if you are in Kalapana (Lower Puna), Ocean View (lower Kau), or Milolii Bay (South Kona) it's all about territory and money, especially if your coming to the rock as a new haole. There's certain rules you better learn real fast. And certain cops in certain areas aren't likely to do anything serious unless they are pressured too, as they have a lot of proven corruption among their ranks, and loooong and solid history of public mistrust.
