Based on new information regarding an unsolved homicide from 1987, Hawai’i Island police are renewing their request for public assistance regarding the murder of Lynn Ebisuzaki. On May 1, 1987, Hilo patrol officers responded to a Kanoelehua Avenue home for a report of a missing female. They learned that the 26-year-old victim, Lynn Ebisuzaki, who was visiting the home, was last seen exiting the residence and failed to return. Conducting a search of the property and adjoining properties, officers eventually located Ebisuzaki’s lifeless body. An autopsy determined that she died as a result of a stab wound, and her death was ruled a homicide. Detectives from Hawai‘i County Police Department’s Unsolved Homicides Unit received new information from witnesses regarding an unknown man who was seen arguing with Ebisuzaki at a Kino‘ole Street church some time prior to her death.

Police ask anyone who may know the identify of the unknown male or may have information about this incident to contact Detective Derek Morimoto at (808) 961-2380 or via email at Derek.Morimoto@hawaiicounty.gov. HPD Photo
