My sympathies to both families.

My utter condemnation to those here who were so quick to blame the local residents of Kalapana, and disparage our undermanned police department. Shame on you.

Amen, Snorkle you are so correct!

I agree with snorkle, shame on all those people who thought it was the locals!!!! Your very correct snorkle!

An autopsy on Johnson’s body revealed that the cause of death was asphyxia due to hanging and the manner of death was suicide.

Ah, right. This reminds of last year when they found Steven Elliot's after he apparently hung himself inside of his own truck:

Or it might remind local residents of when police dug up Dawn Gambskys buried body and ruled she committed suicide:

If Boaz Johnson's plan was to kill Brittany and commit suicide, why would he bother dragging the girl into the ocean? If you're going to commit suicide, you aren't going to go through the unnecessary trouble of making her body disappear? Sounds more like the actions of someone planning to cover up a crime, not commit suicide.

As others have questioned, why was this body not found before? Was the cadaver dog in Hilo busy doing something else that particular day?

Also, the so called dispute conveniently happens one day before he is buying 10 acres of land? The notebook says he was depressed (that was an amazing guess, Bananahead) yet Boaz Johnson was witnessed just days before, by both family members and locals, as being very happy, and looking forward to finalizing the deal on the land. Yet he chooses to do this ONE DAY before meeting with the realtor?

I think it's also a bit off that Boaz was indicted of murder in December, yet this wasn't announced to the public. They supposedly sealed the indictment so that it wouldn't hinder the search for Boaz Johnson, but that makes absolutely no strategic sense at all. If Boaz Johnson had been on the run since May 28th, I'm pretty sure he was well aware of the fact that he was the only suspect being targeted by the police.

Police told both families try had evidence that Boaz Johnson escaped the island. How exactly did he try to leave the island, being that he was hanging lifeless in an ironwood tree?

Police found the backpack and cell phone on a "trail" leading to the kipuka. Did they find these items and then decide the trail wasn't worth following into the kipuka? Once again, where was the gridded ground search for another missing or dead person?

I also had no idea our forensics work was being done by a private for-profit company in California.

The person that found Boaz was someone looking to buy local property? First time we have heard that little tidbit. Before, police claimed he was just a "hiker".

As far as anybody feeling shame for accusing a particular local of having threatened people with verbal/physical assault, guns, or other forms of bullying, why would anyone feel shame for admitting the truth about someones actions. If that person was against Boaz performing lava tours or purchasing land, there's no shame in providing further witness accounts. People from all over, tourists, locals, even members of this forum have witnessed this. If you want to toss shame, shame the behavior and threats of someone that tarnishes the reputation of his family. It's also funny how certain people have never came forth to defend their innocence. If I was innocent, I would certainly defend the reputation of my family, my business, and myself. Just my opinion, personally.

My guess is that this will be just like the Vargas/Gambsky/Ireland/Etc cases. It will take a lot of community efforts and outside investigators to find out who put Boaz Johnson in a tree.

Let the conspiracy theories begin!

The case is solved,lets put this puppy to bed for the good of the community, its time to heal.

[Island girl]

Now we need Justice For Boaz Johnson and Justice For Brittany Jane Royal. If I were a family member, I would want another independent identification and study of the supposed notebook. I would also want to talk to Kalapana Ed.

[rainyjim]

Interesting to see all the brand new posters asking everyone to let it be over.

This isn't over and won't be for years probably.

To both families: I do not know one single person on this island that would believe Bo is responsible.

Everyone knows the police have no credibility and the true outcome will eventually come to light when some meth-head-thug needs to get off on some completely unrelated charge.

Thats the way it works around here and everyone knows it. There are too many precedents to ignore this unfortunate reality / inconvenient truth.

[LJP2014]

Dec 12- People magazine (royal family not so sure bo did it)
Dec 15 GMA (royal family not so sure bo did it)
