In this episode of “The Other Side of Paradise,” Lynn Kawano details the difficulties Alvin Jardine III suffered after DNA cleared him of a home invasion rape, after he had already spent 20 years in prison.

Jardine was homeless when he was found dead in the Haiku area of Maui in December, days after the Maui Police Department issued a missing person bulletin.

He was the first person exonerated by the Hawaii Innocence Project in 2011.

A Marine was sentenced to 26 years for murdering his wife on base as the Army investigates another spouse found dead on Schofield Barracks weeks earlier.

Wives are sounding the alarm about the violence and lack of information being provided to the community by military leadership.

Staff Sgt. Alonzo Alcantara was sentenced on Sept. 30, 2025, for the murder of his wife, Ruby Tenorio Alcantara, who died just over a year prior, on Sept. 1, 2024.

Alcantara admitted in court to using a rear-naked chokehold, a martial arts technique taught by the Marines, to kill his wife during an argument about finances and his legal troubles.

But the autopsy report that HNN Investigates obtained shows she had a lot more injuries, indicating Alcantara did more that just a chokehold.

The couple’s 8-year-old son witnessed the violence, it was revealed in court, and their younger child was also in the home at the time.

The Alcantara children are now living with family members who are struggling to pay the bills. There is a GoFundMe set up to help.

It's a 40-year-old murder mystery.

Diane Suzuki, 19, disappeared on July 6, 1985, in broad daylight, at a busy place in Central Oahu.
Her attacker had less than 15 minutes to commit the crime and hide her body.

In this episode of "The Other Side of Paradise," Lynn Kawano revisits the case from the day she went missing to the failed grand jury proceedings eight years later.

The HNN investigative reporter talks to the man Suzuki was planning her life with, and explains why law enforcement won't open the files to clarify rumors that have swirled for decades.
