Mary Sue Fink: Hawaii Cold Case Murder of a Toddler Found in a Waikiki Closet | Revisited: 029

Legacy Episode 29 revisits the Hawaii cold case of Mary Sue Fink, the toddler identified through familial DNA after her remains were found in a galvanized steel can inside a Waikiki apartment closet in 2014. This Beneath the Palms episode follows the verified record, the murder investigation, the “Aunty” family story, and the long silence that kept Mary Sue’s name buried for decades. This Legacy redo goes back through the case the way we always do: sharper writing, a harder fact check, and a cleaner line between what the public record proves and what still lives in rumor. If you follow Hawaii true crime, cold cases, missing children cases, forensic genealogy, or unsolved Honolulu murder cases, this episode is built for you.
