fantastic helpful summary, PT.
Check on it all making sense with the arson and the tip to mechanic and the dumping. I assume the police got a tip on the burned doors.
As you said, nothing is open at night in Hana. It's a ghost village. Sex unlikely. Drugs maybe, for Taylor? Disposal sites in area so maybe. Nala dropped in Nahiku most probably. (Scratch my other theory). Driving there for no particular reason that night? Doubtful. He had things to do. I will just mention that it doesn't get much more isolated than Kaupo, if he wanted to go where searching was unlikely. But did he have time for the circle loop?
The question with the ocean is are the prevailing currents going to bring back what you threw in, or take it away? Bringing it back is very bad. And then what is smelling so rotten up by the highway on Wednesday? That is a real new clue. It's not something in the ocean, and at least two people driving by got a whiff that made them stop. These are not people beating the jungle; they are driving the main road.
Can you tell where the spot with guardrail and a need to rappel down would be? At the bridge area or on the higher parts of the valley? Stream side? (That is the Honomanu side, no?). Google Earth does give elevation, but I haven't checked there yet.
re the moon, it was less than a week from full, but does anyone know if it was a rainy night? I'm guessing not too rainy because the Hana witness was standing outside away from the house and also did not mention rain.
Again why do people go to Hana. Maybe for drugs because its such an isolated place its easier to fly under the radar for distribution. For sex that is if you have a pal. Im not saying there are brothels. For the sunrise because you lose half the day if you leave late. And I meant to put after that (During the day) Church or Court as folks do go down for those things as well. Now as far as where JT saw Steven is still a mystery to us at WS. We know her house is on the ocean side of the road as was stated in testimony. As to what direction he was traveling we dont know however I am sure the jury does. Was he on the Hana Bay road or the Hana Hwy? We dont know. The Hana Bay road takes you down to the water or up to the right turn by the tennis courts back to the Hwy and has a circle around left turn dirt road that takes you along the ocean side back up to the landfill and Wainapanapa. The Hwy takes you past the Police and Fire Station which he came close to in any case hence the 20 mph.
This Hana sighting brings so much into question and hopefully we have an answer in the days to come.
