Grim memories resurface after DNA advances lead to arrest of suspect in Hawaii teen’s 1977 murder

The unsolved death of a teenager in 1977 haunted students and staff at Honolulu’s McKinley High School for nearly half a century. But last week, police used advances in DNA technology to arrest a resident of a Utah nursing home in the death of 16-year-old Dawn Momohara. The suspect, former McKinley student Gideon Castro, faces an initial appearance Friday in Salt Lake County District Court and eventual extradition to Hawaii. Castro’s attorney did not respond to email and phone messages seeking comment. Police interviewed Castro and his brother in 1977 but say they were not able to conclusively link Castro to the killing until obtaining DNA samples in recent years.
