THREE

In a place where everyone knows everyone, during the early days of the investigation, police have no shortage of tips. Soon they turn their attention to three potential suspects: Frank Nasario, Anthony Torres and Roy Santos…but only a few months later, any hope that this case would be open and shut is dashed; none of the men’s DNA matches what was found on Dana Ireland or at the scene. Then, just when the Hawai'i Police Department think they have no other leads to explore, they conveniently get a phone call implicating who this man says are the real people who killed Dana Ireland. --- Please consider donating to Ian’s GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction [https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction].   You can visit www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org [http://www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org/] and click the donate button to support them, their work and their clients.  To buy Amanda Knox’s new memoir, Free: My Search for Meaning, click HERE [https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/amanda-knox/free/9781538770719/].  If you have any information about the abduction and murder of Dana Ireland, we encourage you to contact the Hawai’i Innocence Project at contacthip@hawaiiinnocenceproject.org.  You can also contact Crime Stoppers at (808) 961-8300 and the Hawai’i Police Department at (808) 961-2380 or visit their website Hawaiipolice.gov to submit a tip.

On Christmas Eve in 1991, Dana Ireland is found tucked away in a secluded, hard to get to area of the Hawaiian subdivision, Vacationland barely clinging to life. When she finally arrives at a Hilo hospital, the damage is too severe and they declare Dana dead at 12:25am on Christmas morning.  In 2023, the audiochuck team set out to tell you the story of what happened to Dana Ireland and how three men were convicted of her murder. Then in 2024, everything changed.  In Chapter 1, Amanda Knox takes you through everything that happened on December 24th, 1991 and why this story is very different from the one we were originally going to tell you.   --- Please consider donating to Ian’s GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction [https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction].   You can visit www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org [http://www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org] and click the donate button to support them, their work and their clients.  To buy Amanda Knox’s new memoir, Free: My Search for Meaning, click HERE [https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/amanda-knox/free/9781538770719/].  If you have any information about the abduction and murder of Dana Ireland, we encourage you to contact the Hawai’i Innocence Project at contacthip@hawaiiinnocenceproject.org.  You can also contact Crime Stoppers at (808) 961-8300 and the Hawai’i Police Department at (808) 961-2380 or visit their website Hawaiipolice.gov to submit a tip.

For over 30 years, the murder of 23-year-old Dana Ireland haunted the island of Hawai‘i, leaving behind a tangled web of suspicion, betrayal, and unanswered questions. Three men were convicted.

Through never-before-heard interviews and unwarranted access, we’ll walk you through this notorious crime and how it impacted three families - The Ireland’s, The Schweitzer’s and The Pauline’s all in very different ways.
