Woman's body found off Kalapana

[Guest]

Thank you Amrita, I thought your story or experiences out on the lava captured what was going on down there in Kalapana before the murders. Very impressive to be in your 70' so active and still enjoying Hawaii, gives me hope and reasons to stay fit and active. Sorry you have had to deal with such a tragedy so close to you (DAWN). Things like that can and will alter or change your perception of the local police and community. I also felt my attitude change when the Ireland tragedy happened so close to me, this is only one reason why I don't have much faith in our police or Local community. There was a growing tension down in Kalapana before this tragedy and most who hiked out regularly had to feel it. The home owners next to the flow were getting agro over the foot traffic through there yards, some guides were frustrated with the unregulated or illegal tours, Hawaiians were trying to reclaim what they felt was theirs all along. Yet all our fine county and police did was Shorten the hours of our security guards and write more parking tickets. I truly believe the threats, car break ins, beat downs, and high volume of resident complaints should have been handled differently, Then maybe something like this happening down there could have been prevented?.
P.S. Any word yet on who's body was found last week? This may be the break we needed to finally find out what really happened out there that night?. Also does anyone know if this body was found closer to where the threats were made from the locals to the Johnson's or was it close to the crime seen?. I have heard conflicting stories about the find.
