New DNA Evidence in 1991 Hawaii Murder Case Leads to Suspect's Suicide

Albert Lauro identified as a suspect in Dana Ireland's killing; police criticized for handling of investigation

Albert Lauro's DNA matched evidence from the 1991 murder of Dana Ireland in Hawaii.
Lauro died by suicide after police took a DNA swab from him, preventing his arrest.
The investigation has faced criticism for not detaining Lauro earlier, potentially losing key evidence.
Albert Schweitzer, previously convicted for the crime, was released in 2023 based on new evidence.
Calls for a federal investigation into the police's handling of the case have intensified.
