my friend called me and she was hysterical. she said sandra has been killed. i was like, oh, my god. as soon as she was killed, we all knew who did it. as the months went on, we just realized that this guy is going to get off. how is this happening? just keep praying. that s all we can do. there aren t a lot of murders in paradise. people still talk about this one. just a darling girl with two darling children. it is a story keith morrison followed for nearly ten years. how? when? i got a call from her boss, said she hadn t showed up for work. they found her in the car. i saw in the back of her neck some ligature marks. just didn t deserve that. a small island, a small pool of suspects. ryan, her lover with a past i had no idea he was a drug dealer. and darren, the soon-to-be ex-husband. that morning he called in
many of sandra s friends like crystal hall also thought darren was guilty. i think everyone thought that darren would be arrested immediately and, you know, he would be going to jail and the children would be going to the grandparents or her brother and everything was going to be okay. and exactly one year after the murder, there was, indeed, an arrest. but it wasn t darren. coming up we ve got to get this case solved. a new theory about sandra s murder. she may have been smuggling drugs in her new louis vuitton suitcases and not even knowing it. and a threat from her father. if i ever figure out a way
who attended saint catherine school with friends alni umala and joanie arita. when people ask you what was sandy like, what would you tell them? she was absolutely a go-getter. like she was teacher s pet. oh, really? always perfect. she always had her hair nicely done. you know, she was always focused. in high school, sandra was an athlete, a cheerleader, very popular. she was the complete package.
that was why larry insisted sandra leave kauai to go to college. she ended up in honolulu. but for a small island girl it felt as big and lonely as new york city. she missed kauai, her family, and would come home as often as she could. that s when she got involved with darren. and darren was here? darren was here. darren galas, a little older. made good money at his highway construction job. sandra was crazy about him. and soon after she moved home they got married. son austin came nine months later, and braden two years after that. so by the age of 24 sandra was the matriarch of her own little clan. she loved the boys to death. i mean, she they were the apple of her eye. life was good until april 2005, when sandra came to her parents, very upset.
with friends, and as is pretty obvious in this concert video, she was enjoying her new life. but before too long, sandra started getting friendly with one of the chefs, a recent transplant from oahu named ryan shinjo. he wined and dined her and took really good care of her. he was really nice to her. they were always doing all kinds of fabulous things. going on honolulu shopping trips, for instance, where ryan would lavish expensive gifts on sandra, like louis vuitton luggage. larry and sandra s mom toshie knew little of this relationship. and on january 25th, 2006 were in dallas visiting their son when they got an odd call from sandra s boss. said she hadn t showed up for work. it was very unusual for her. she never just arbitrarily hours later, the phone rang again. it was 3:00 a. m., a time when bad news comes calling. larry s son answered the phone.
