But by the end of this series, there came a fourth family that at this stage may be a little harder to empathize with. And that's Albert Laurel Jr. 's family. His wife and kids and family members? Perhaps they had no clue that their husband, their dad, their uncle or cousin or son was responsible for something so unimaginable. And what must it be like to grapple with that revelation now?

Or, equally as terrifying, perhaps some of them knew or suspected. We may never know or fully understand until they decide, if they decide, to speak for themselves. Regardless, Albert Laurel Jr. 's crime will have an effect on them, and they will bear his infamy in part simply by sharing his name. I know my family did.

Though it still remains troubling that the Hawaii PD has taken such pains to grant that presumption of innocence for him, even in his death, when they were so cavalier about going after Ian and Sean with nothing but a wild tale from an unreliable narrator. Steve Kramer and Steve Bush agree.

We came into this case asking ourselves, who killed Dana Ireland? Because from everything we've seen and studied and analyzed, we can say without a shadow of a doubt that there's no reliable evidence tying Frank Pauline Jr., Sean Schweitzer, and Albert Ian Schweitzer to the crime. And we now have very solid evidence implicating a man who just took his own life when he learned he was a suspect.
