Alana Bailey, 30, was found dead on June 16, 1974, in a wooded area off Nuuanu Pali Drive in Honolulu. Investigators report she had been assaulted and strangled. The location where her body was found had been set back from the road and tucked into thick growth, suggesting someone carried or concealed her away from public view.

Friends also knew her by another name, Terry Rochan, a detail detectives followed because it pointed to a separate social circle that might not have been obvious from her legal identity. Bailey’s car was later located parked in the Chinatown area, a fact that raises questions about whether her evening began or ended there, or whether the vehicle was left to obscure the timeline before she was taken up the Pali.

The Honolulu Police Department lists the death as an unsolved homicide and is asking for anyone who can place Bailey or the name Terry Rochan into a clearer sequence of contacts, locations, or events to come forward.
