Episode 307: The (Technically) Unsolved Honolulu Strangler Case

In the mid 1980s, five women were murdered in Honolulu, Hawaii by a serial killer that became known as “The Honolulu Strangler”. While no one has ever been charged in the case, one suspect who directly lead police to the last victim’s body is believed to be the killer. But unfortunately, Vicki Purdy, Regina Sakamoto, Denise Hughes, Louise Medeiros and Linda Pesce have never gotten justice.
