Skeletal human remains found in Kalihi

Advertiser Staff

Human remains were found this morning in a ravine in Kalihi.

Police Lt. Bill Kato said the "full skeletal remains" were in a ravine behind the Hauiki Homes housing project on Meyers Street.

Kato said it was unknown if the remains were of a man or a woman and it had not been determined if the case involved any foul play or suspicious circumstances.

"We are looking into missing persons cases in the area to see if this matches any that we have," Kato said.

The Honolulu Medical Examiner's Office and the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command at Hickam Air Force Base are handling the forensics in the case, and officers are awaiting the results, Kato said.

The bones were found at 10:17 a.m. by a resident of Hauiki Homes.
