#Kalapana

After buying a knife and metal knuckles at a store in Hilo, Jacob Baker allegedly told his friend who drove him there that he would “shank all the rapists in Pāhoa and anyone who messed with him.”

Baker now faces one count of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder, which are directly connected with the killings of 69-year-old Robert Shine, 79-year-old Chitta Morse and 69-year-old John Carse, all from Puna; he remains behind bars and police said will not be eligible for release even if he was able to make bail for the initial property crime charges he also faces.

Some locations that will experience flooding include Hawaiian Paradise Park, Pāhoa, Hawaiian Acres, Orchidland Estates, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, Kalapana, ʻĀinaloa, Leilani Estates, Fern Acres, Eden Roc, Fern Forest, Nānāwale Estates, Hawaiian Beaches, Isaac Hale Beach Park and the former Kapoho area.

The 37-year-old was last seen between May 12 and May 14, 2023.

A flood watch remains in place for all Hawaiian Islands through Friday afternoon.
