HOME IS HERE

Wed., Mar. 30 at 7:30 pm

On the second episode of Home is Here, we visit Natsunoya Tea House, the last traditional Japanese tea house on Oʻahu. We also talk to community members who are working to preserve and share the work of renowned architect Vladimir Ossipoff, designer of some of the most iconic homes and buildings in Hawaiʻi. Finally, we sit down with Marissa Halagao, a Punahou student who saw a lack of diversity in ethnic representation in her studies and decided to do something about it.

Final thought… the need for closure, no matter what the circumstance or event, is vital for one to heal and move forward. The parents of Diane Suzuki and Lisa Au, two young women who went missing in the early 1980s, did not experience closure. They died without answers. 

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) estimates there were 240,000 unresolved homicides in 1980-2016, with approximately 6,000 unresolved cases annually. What was once cold is now hot. Forensic Genetic Genealogy is helping solve some of these cases.

On this week's "WHAT SCHOOL YOU WENT?" audio podcast, we take a look back at the Lisa Au case. What happened, and why are there still no answers? Why is there no closure?
