Lisa Lika Fracassi was a 37-year-old woman staying in Waikiki when she was found dead inside her Nahua Street apartment hotel on November 3, 1994, after being strangled. She had last been seen in the early morning hours of October 31, 1994, and a worker discovered her body after noticing a do not disturb sign that had been left hanging for days. Investigators described ligature strangulation with a telephone cord and said a sheet had been stuffed into her mouth; a used condom and a cigarette butt were also recovered from the room.

Decades later, investigators worked with forensic genetic genealogy and Parabon NanoLabs, with genealogist CeCe Moore assisting. Fingerprint reexamination and DNA testing were reported to have linked evidence from the scene to Cecil H. Trent, who police identified as their primary and likely only suspect. Trent had died in Honolulu in 2013 and was never arrested in connection with the killing.

Does anyone have information about Lisa’s last known movements in Waikiki on October 31, 1994, or about people who frequented that part of the neighborhood at that time?
