About this episode

The episode discusses the mysterious disappearance and brutal murder of a local musician in Kawaihae, Hawaii.

This week, in Kawaihae, Hawaii, nobody freaks out when a beloved local musician disappears, thinking he may be playing some gigs, on another island, or maybe off searching for inspiration. But after a month, the search begins, centering around a local man, with a history of violence & meth dealing. When our musician is finally found, it's a brutal discovery. He's been horribly battered by multiple weapons. Did he accidentally cross a dangerous man, or did the police actually put him on a path to certain doom, because he had some minor criminal problems??? Along the way, we find out that islands have dry & wet sides, that you should never agree to gather information against a dangerous meth dealer, and that a ukulele is no match for guns, and hammers!!
