Body recovered from Kuliouou Ridge Trail

The case of a body that was recovered by a Honolulu Fire Department crew along the upper slopes of Kuliouou Ridge Trail Saturday night has been turned over to Honolulu police.

It’s not clear if the body was that of a man or woman. 

HFD Capt. Kevin Mokulehua said the crew took two hours through a wet trail to get to the body, which was discovered by Scouts hiking in the area.

After packaging and securing the body at about 9:23 p.m., the crew then took two hours to hike back down the trail, Mokulehua said.

The case was then turned over to the Honolulu Police Department, he said.
