On March 21, 1977, Dawn Momohara’s corpse was found on the second floor of a high school in Honolulu. The 16 -year -old girl was in the second year in this establishment. Her body is lying on her back, partially undressed and she has an orange fabric tied around her neck. The analyzes will show that it has been sexually assaulted and strangled to death.
DNA belonging to a stranger had been found on the victim’s clothes, but never leading to a suspect. A crime that remained unresolved, until a detective specialized in COLD Cases took over the business in 2020 and calls on new genealogical research technologies by DNA.
The profile made up, in 2023, leads to two brothers: Gideon and William Castro. The two had been interviewed immediately after the murder. Gideon had said he met Dawn at an end -of -year ball in 1976, while William had admitted to talking to him from time to time on the phone, but without having had any relationship with her.
-If the culprit is one of the two, which one? The police went to Chicago where William lives and secretly managed to collect DNA from his children. Who innocected their father. The assassin is therefore Giedon.
It was in his retirement home in Utah that the police came to arrest him, CBS announced on January 22. The man, now 66, who had barely 18 at the time, was a classmate of the victim. After his diploma, he had joined the reserve army. He was charged with second degree murder and will be extradited to Hawaii to be tried.
