— Jennifer Michelle Showen, 43, was reported missing in early July 2022 and has not been seen or heard from since. She was last seen at her residence on Ina Street in the Hawaiian Beaches subdivision in Pahoa.

Over the course of these investigations, detectives “have conducted countless interviews, completed forensic analysis of cellphone and financial records, and followed up on numerous tips from the public,” according to a press releae.

Although not confirmed, police do suspect foul play might be involved in each of these cases.
