The Honolulu home of 92-year-old Campbell Estate heiress Abigail Kawana- nakoa was burglarized over the weekend.
Kawananakoa’s wife, Veronica Gail Worth, told The Associated Press they were home when a man entered their house Sunday morning.
Worth says he took a Louis Vuitton dog carrier. She says he took other items, including a coronation medal the king of Tonga gave Kawananakoa.
Worth says police were able to identify a suspect from surveillance footage. Police have opened a first-degree burglary case.
Kawananakoa, who celebrated her birthday this month, is embroiled in a legal battle for control over her $215 million estate. Her former longtime lawyer persuaded a judge to appoint him as trustee, arguing a stroke over the summer left her impaired. Kawananakoa claims she’s fine.
