$1500 is not too much if they are wide and tough mud tires for a 4WD truck. Less for a street driven only truck. I think my last standard tires not for a truck were at least $200 apiece ($800 set) with the alignment, balancing, etc..
Yes things are a lot more expensive here. $1500 doesn't go far.
I was wrong I guess about the searching. I can only find video posted Tue afternoon, not on Monday. At that point they had spoken to Steven and were focusing on the 20mm near Keanae.
Of interest to me - at that time the story they had from SC was his truck needed to be pulled out of a ditch, not that it had broken down. And he had not pinned down a location where he stopped seeing her lights - which is why they were looking that far out.
I wonder if he came up with the Twin Falls for his press interview to try and move the search focus farther from Honomanu.
thank you so much PeterTosh. Yes, I have had the experience of an alternator going out with a long drive home and at night. I was not able to have the lights on and had to follow someone in order to see the road.Having been to that site I can tell you it is the side of the road. Not a ditch. It is dirt. Any 2wd could get out of it on the muddiest of days. Regardless it was a very clear day that Sunday as I was out riding my bike at Jaws. He told me that he had problems wit his alternator and Charli had given him a jump start. I imagine this story is consistent with what he told police. The only message I can actually retrieve is "Electrical and wiring problems, it's still not entirely fixed". FB closed my Crabapple or turned it into a commercial site
As I told him problems with his alternator meant his battery would not have enough charge to get him back to Haiku especially running the lights. Even on a full charge. A car runs on the Alternator, not the battery. The battery is just to turn the starter and then disconnects when the engine is running, just receiving charge.
Case in court will rely heavy on circumstantial evidence without bodies, direct witness, confession, weapon. The more the defense can have suppressed the better for SC so expect see as many of these motions as they can. As long as they can't have jawbone suppressed that is like body in this case.

Sure. One of the problems with "no body" cases is the missing person could conceivably still be alive. Because the jawbone is a body part that a person cannot live without, MPD was able to reclassify the case. Defense cannot argue that she may be alive. That's very good.I would think the jawbone is "the body"?? Does the law say different?
Yep, a moment of laughter for me too!Well, that certainly ends any debate if SC is dumb or not.
yes, they can lie to him.Police can legally lie and make up evidence too. Law is extreme in favor of LE on that and it's not a problem in court. Terms of service here won't let me post the link so google about Police can lie to you in order to extract a confession, Frazier v. Cupp, 394 U.S. 731, 739 (1969)
The problem from SC motion suppress evidence is about Miranda Rights. He can say he thought he was turning him self in for arrest and wouldn't be free to go after he got to the station. Suspicious if he acted like he was being charged with crime when she was just missing at that time and there wasn't evidence of a crime. If they lied to him about what happened to Nala the dog that could mean they said there was a crime.

The jawbone alone cannot tell the complete story of how she was murdered. There was some trauma to the jaw that was analyzed, info not released as to what. But the stabbing, that would not be known without the rest of her body, except for the clothes, and it's still not as definitive as having the actual wounds, but let's hope.
the top she was wearing didn't cover her upper chest or throat (or her arms), so that is another whole area where she may have been attacked and they will never know.
it is very lucky that the jawbone was found after only five days rather than after months.
With Dawn Gambsky, police found 6 month old skeletonized remains, and prosecution did end up making a plea agreement rather than risk not getting a conviction. There is so much more information that forensics can get from a flesh and blood body that is lost with time. So it is like there is a spectrum between a body and no body I guess.

I bought 4 tires in February and had the invoice handy - $512 out the door here on the mainland, FWIW. I drive a Mazda 6, not an SUV.$1500 is not too much if they are wide and tough mud tires for a 4WD truck. Less for a street driven only truck.

People frequent their same places on the island. Where your house is, where your work is, where your beach is, where you buy food, where you go out. You can live in Haiku, not go to Lahaina ever and reverse. You can live in Kula 20 years and not been to Hana in 18 or 10.
SC knows Haiku, Pe'ahi, Keanae (where evidence was). Charli lived and worked in Makawao. I know how close that is but think difference it is her awareness space and his is Haiku Pe'ahi instead.
LE, prosecutor, should dig into how he is familiar in Keanae and Honomanu. For body did his awareness space extend to Hana was he there a lot? Is there a place there or people there that make it ""the outer edges along the space's transportation coridor" or is that what Honomanu and Nahiku are to him? Where would he hide bodies and feel in control?
