Body of missing woman, 36, found in Waikele apartment
Honolulu police found the body of a 36-year-old woman missing since Thursday in a Waikele apartment at about 1:30 p.m. today.
Johnalynn Ilae was pronounced dead at 1:40 p.m. The case is currently classified as an unattended death while detectives piece together what happened since she was last seen alive by family at about 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Detectives are investigating whether 46-year-old Frank Camaro, who was found dead Thursday at the Ala Moana Hotel, had anything to do with Ilae’s disappearance. Ilae may have known the man’s wife.
