diane suzuki

diane suzuki was a nineteen-year-old dancer and student at the university of hawaiʻi at mānoa who disappeared on july 6 , 1985 , and has since been the focus of one of the most notorious modern criminal investigations in the history of the state of hawaii .
the diane suzuki investigation was the instance in which luminol and other technological advances in forensic science were first used by the honolulu police department .
suzuki was a female resident of halawa , 4 feet 11 inches tall , 109 pounds , with a slim build , and of japanese descent .
suzuki was last seen at about 5 p.m. on july 6 , 1985 , outside the rosalie woodson dance academy in aiea , where she was employed as a dance instructor .
during the same time period in hawaii , there were the unsolved killings of at least nine women on oahu .
the deaths of lisa au , regina sakamoto , and others all over the island , led many to believe that there was a crime wave during the 1980s .
the discovery of blood evidence at the site led to legislation that overhauled hawaii 's harassment laws to include stalking , and changed the status of tro violations to a class c felony -lrb- with a maximum penalty of 5 years in jail -rrb- in the hope of preventing further violence against women .
in 1993 , keith kaneshiro , who was then prosecuting attorney for the city and county of honolulu , attempted to re-open the case , but after more than 300 hours of grand jury testimony and thousands of dollars spent on the investigation , no charges were filed .
the case remains unsolved as of october 19 , 2014 .
