Michael Robert Scheidt Murder at Kahe Point Beach Park (Waianae, Oahu) | Unsolved Hawaii Cold Case (2002) | 057

Michael Robert Scheidt was shot and killed at Kahe Point Beach Park in Waianae, Oahu on Dec. 20, 2002—an unsolved Honolulu cold case that still haunts the shoreline. Scheidt was 38 years old. He lived in Makakilo, was born in Kailua, and was a father. In the early morning hours, he was with friends at a beach parking lot when—without warning—a single shot fired from a distance struck him in the chest. He was taken to St. Francis Medical Center West, where he was pronounced dead. This episode follows the verified timeline, what investigators publicly said at the time, and why cases like this can freeze for years: fear, silence, and the gap between what gets whispered and what can be proven. It also examines later reporting that connected his family’s search for answers to broader criminal proceedings, and Honolulu Police Department’s renewed cold case push—re-examining evidence and encouraging new tips as technology and time change what’s possible.
