The recent arrest of 66-year-old Gideon Castro in connection with the 1977 murder of Dawn Momohara represents a long-awaited development in a cold case that haunted Honolulu for nearly five decades. Dawn's body was discovered at McKinley High School, where she was a sophomore, revealing signs of sexual assault and strangulation. Although many were questioned after her death, modern investigative techniques including DNA analysis finally led police to Castro. He faces charges of second-degree murder and is currently in custody in Honolulu following extradition from Utah.
The arrest of Gideon Castro, 66, marks a significant breakthrough in the unsolved case of Dawn Momohara, a teenager murdered 48 years ago in Honolulu.
Modern DNA analysis helped pinpoint Gideon Castro, who had long been a suspect in the case but was only recently linked through new evidence.
