Murderer Randall Saito's Hospital Escape

Today marks four years since Randall Tashio Saito's escape from the Hawaiian psychiatric hospital where he was being held. Saito had murdered 29-year-old Sandra Yamashiro in a random attack in 1979, and had taken a plea that made history in Hawaii. Angelina and Aurora weave through the twists and turns of Saito's trial, the anonymous testimony that nudged his case closer to justice, and the details of his mysterious escape in November 2017.

Writing and research by Aurora Cady.
