For the duration of Garner's trial, there was a critical piece of information that the Pam

Gahanis jury knew nothing about, something they were not permitted to hear about at all,

something that would have been very, very prejudicial against Thomas Garner.

Let's talk about Kathy Hicks.

On September 19, 1982, at about 10.15 a.m., Honolulu, Hawaii police officers Glenn Kensino and Michael Kawamoto responded to the area of 4151 Nuwani-Drive.

They had received a 911 call from a Robert Midkiff about, quote, a body of a female lying in a gulch.

When they arrived, Midkiff told the officers that two joggers had actually asked him to call

in the report, and then they left. Midkiff directed the officers to a grassy area on the west

side of Nuwanupali Drive. There, 30 feet from the roadway down an embankment,

lay the body of a woman. Officer Kenjino's notes described the body as being a black female,

lying on her back with her head facing south and her feet pointing north. Her left arm was draped

over her neck, and her right arm was twisted under her back. Both eyes were

swollen almost shut. There was blood on her lower lip and she had scratches on the right side of her

neck. She was wearing a reddish purple midriff top and light brown pants. She had on two gold

necklaces and a pair of earrings and she was barefoot. Officer Kawamoto scanned the area and

quickly located the joggers who had originally found the body. Their names were Weston W. and

Evelyn H. They told him they were jogging along Nuano Pali Drive, and around 10 a.m. they stopped

to walk down to the reservoir. There, they came upon the body of the woman

lying down the embankment. Weston said he touched the body just to check for a pulse,

and when he found out there wasn't one, they walked across the street and asked Robert

Midgift to call the police. Weston stated that other than feeling the woman's wrist, he didn't

touch or move her body in any way.
