HNN Investigates: Who Killed Dana Ireland?

Insane that they finally identified who the DNA belonged to. What a sad sad situation all around!

I feel sad for Dana Ireland’s family and Schweitzer family… The justice system is so CORRUPT😢😢😢

I am from Pahoa town and went to high school with Ian and Frank and knew of Shawn. I left Pahoa after high school HI and ultimately became an attorney in WA state. Back then, I heard all the stories from friends and family, as well as local news stations about what was going on with the case. We all want to trust that the police know what they are doing, and especially the prosecution. Last year I started watching Judges for Justice on YouTube by retired Judge Michael Heavey, who I was very familiar with as I practiced in front of him as a public defense attorney back in the day. Each episode made me sick to my stomach to think what happened to my classmates and their families. I was also very angry about how law enforcement and the prosecutor's office had so much pressure on them to solve the case such that innocent people were being sacrificed for the sake of being able to say they solved the murder and justice has prevailed. But look at what happened!! My heart aches for Ian and Shawn in particular and I cannot begin to understand the pain and horror the Schweitzer family went through with having two of their sons charged with Ireland's murder. It warms my heart to see Ian's interviews and how much he places his faith in God because he needed something to believe in to keep his mind sane. I am so thankful that the truth is being revealed and that they have strong legal representation to clean this mess up. Now that the real suspect has killed himself once he realized the police were on to him, at least someone has been identified as the real murderer. I can only pray that God blesses Ian and Shawn and their ohana; guides their steps; comforts them; and heals them to live the rest of their lives with peace and happiness.

Those people that falsely accused the brothers should be back in prison.

Those lying in-mates & Gonzalves driven by the prosecutor really did a number on this case. This is sad & i would've demanded justice from the prosecutor not because he's angry but because they mishandled this case from the gate. 50k a year will help him a lot but those attorneys need reprimanding.

And the real culprit who killed Dana was FREE for 33 years and just committed suicide after he was swabbed at the police station.. this case was so devastating and disappointing.. 😢😢😢 will there be justice for Dana Ireland? So sad..

Another sad part is the parents passed thinking these guys did it, can't correct/fix that... additional to the yrs of slander of these family names.

so what your telling us is three men went to prison because one guy wanted a lighter drug sentence, and pointed the finger at them because he never like them and that the police department and the proscecuter didnt care about the truth just hanging somebody and the actual rapist murderer is still out there, this damn state so corrupt just like in the lisa au case.

It’s sad that they went to jail and the other guy was free …

I wonder if they can do a genetic genealogy?? I saw how detectives solved cold cases through genetic genealogy. Just like the guy who was caught in Las Vegas and he used to live here in Hawaii on Oahu Island. Can that be done in this case??

This case was corrupted by dirty law enforcement and prosecutors doing someone’s evil bidding…shame on all of them.

Cmon that shirt would not fit on Pauline.

...And did anyone happen to look into Linclon Ashida, and the ties his "parents & family" have, and with who?.... It's pretty interesting....Almost "incriminating".....

Imagine all the BS he was witness too in prison

The State of Hawaii owes that family lots of money for their bad decisions.

That prosecutor and anyone else involved should all be prosecuted for lying in the court room. Absolutely awful! 💔

These guyz all testified against each other more than once in each of trials that took place. Then these clowns told other inmates in jail that they did it.

You know what you can do with the blood sample with the unknown male is to submit it in to ancestry dna database or 23& me…see who the blood could be related too than you will have an idea 🤷🏽‍♀️js

This case needs to be investigated .Why did he plead guilt? If they where there they have guilt also .They did not stop their friend from raping and beating her. If innocent then why the frame ?

I dunno....Sooo Easy to "Monday Morning Quarterback" everything these days. Seems like its all the Fashion now especially with Politics, and all the rest of it...PLENTY of people stilll believe they had the right guys in Jail, so who knows. Jus my two cents.
