Description

I had posted a "A Tribute to Brittany Jane Royal" before where a young girl Brittany and her boyfriend Bo had plans to make their home in Kalapana on the lava fields that I had walked so many times before. They both were missing in May 2013. Luckily, a fisherman found her and the police reported that she was strangled. The boyfriend Bo was missing. Police found skin tissue of Brittany being dragged on the lava rocks to the ocean and later found a trail to a small kipuka (forest area) where Bo's backpack, ID's, knife and cellphone with DNA evidence was found. Also, a person had called Bo 2 hours after the fisherman found Brittany's body to find out if they were ok. Stupidly, Bo answered his cell phone with his DNA left on the phone. He said they were ok. With this info, the police listed Bo as suspect and dangerous. Bo was no where to be found until Jan 2014 where some one found his decomposed body hanging from a tree. Bo also left a 3 page confession note that he killed Brittany because of an argument and had planned to commit suicide. Case solved! Brittany was pregnant and her unborn child was to be named 'IO.....which is a Hawaiian word for the Hawaiian Hawk. It is so wrong that domestic violence took the lives of Brittany and her unborn child 'IO. Prayers to them and the family.... Rest in Peace Brittany and 'IO. Aloha "Police Press Conference" "Justice for Brittany Jane Royal"

What a beautiful image, Dear Errol. I do remember the last post that shocked me with this horrendous information. Sometimes I feel like the crimes that take place today are really something out of a horror movie, and yet they are very real. It's unfortunate what some of these "monsters" are doing and turning into. Thank you for the tribute, and the most endearing image.

A very sad story. All hopes and dreams burned to ashes over momentary anger. You have given Brittany and 'IO a transcendently beautiful tribute. This image glows.
