Who Killed Lynn Ebisuzaki? The Unsolved 1987 Hilo Murder | Hawaii True Crime Cold Case

Who killed Lynn Ebisuzaki? In 1987, the 26-year-old Hilo woman stepped away from a home she was visiting and never came back. Police found her body nearby, and nearly four decades later her murder remains unsolved. This episode of Beneath the Palms revisits the Lynn Ebisuzaki cold case from the beginning: the life she built in Hilo, her work, her years helping children at church, the timeline on May 1, 1987, the unidentified man seen near Hilo Airport with a bleeding hand, the original composite sketches, forensic evidence, and the later witness account involving another unidentified man seen arguing with Lynn before her death. But this is not just a Hawaii cold case. Lynn was a daughter, sister, coworker, friend, and a familiar presence in her church community. People remembered her as quiet, friendly, caring and kind. When she died, people lined the street to say goodbye. If you have information about Lynn's murder, contact Hawaii Police Detective Sybastian Keltner at 808-961-2326 or [email protected].
