Lisa Au was born July 25th, 1962 in Honolulu, to Chester and Patrice Au. Known to be hardworking and intelligent, Lisa’s loved ones described her as “beautiful”, “pleasant” and “always a happy girl with big dreams”. After leaving school, she began working as a hairdresser at the Susan Beers Salon in Kailua, a small town on the island of Oahu. She was expected to go far in life and her family believed that a bright future lay ahead of her - but, tragically, all of that promise was taken from her one rainy night.

Cold Case Detective was created by TJ Ruesch and the team behind Top5s & DestinationDeclassified. Our aim is to educate and spread awareness on some of the most puzzling missing person cases in history...
This is Cold Case Detective, shutting the blinds on unsolved mysteries as we seek to heat up another...
If a cop was involved it certainly explains why this case is still unsolved after all these years
Police department had too many screw ups in this investigation. Makes me wonder if they was covering up for someone. RIP Lisa and I hope justice will come.
So, we know that on the night that Lisa was killed there was a police officer on the road who...
1. lived near Lisa
2. had pulled another woman over that night for questionable reasons
3. had a pending sexual assault complaint against him
I'd say that doesn't look good, especially when, despite all that, he was never considered a serious suspect. And to this day, it doesn't sound like he's ever been investigated thoroughly enough to definitively exclude him.
As for Lisa's boyfriend failing his polygraphs, I wouldn't even take that seriously. They are so notoriously unreliable that the results aren't even admissible in court. And it's no wonder that he feels responsibility over her murder. He's spent years carrying the guilt of not driving her home, and putting her in the position that allowed her killer to target her. That kind of guilt can eat away at someone for years.
even if he did kill her alot of officers get away with horrible crimes just by turning over their badge like a get out of jail free card.
@@manofmagic1803 Oh, I know, believe me. Over the last 10-ish years in our (Canadian) city there have been a few high profile cases of officers who were convicted of crimes. However, even if an officer is convicted of a crime, they doesn't automatically lose their job. They still have to appear before the police disciplinary board. So, what these cops and their lawyers did was to keep delaying that hearing for one reason or another, usually because of stress or some other mental health issue caused by having to appear before the board. The problem is that here in Ontario, police chiefs do not have the authority to suspend an officer without pay (police chiefs in all other provinces and territories can). So, these officers drag out the delays on the hearings, until they can retire. Then, they're no longer cops, so they don't have to appear before the board, and thst hearing never happens.
The issue, the very BIG issue that the public (and the decent cops) have with this is that during that time that they're delaying their hearing, they're collecting full pay, getting yearly raises, getting full benefits, accumulating sick time and vacation pay, and they're being credited for all that time. So, in these 3 particular cases, they delayed their hearings for YEARS!! And all that time was considered working time, so they just delayed and delayed until they had accumulated enough "working time" to retire with a full pension and benefits. And, as an added bonus, if you're a public servant, you can save up your sick days, and "cash them in" when you retire. Some cops never take any sick pay if they get sick and have to miss work, they just accumulate years and years of it, then get the money for it when they retire.
You can see where the public have a few problems with this system. The cop has already been found guilty in a court of law, so they know that the police board hearing isn't going to go in their favour. The have no incentive to have the hearing where they'll be fired, and only eligible for a partial pension, or possibly no pension at all...but they have every incentive to delay that hearing until they've accumulated enough time to retire with a full pension.
Taxpayers pay their salaries, and we paid out about $500,000 to each of these cops...their salaries for the years they just sat at home, plus the sick pay they'd accrued, plus the health benefits they'll receive for the rest of their lives.
Taxpayers HATE the fact that public servants can accumulate their sick pay and cash it out when they retire. It doesn't even make sense. Sick pay is there for when you get sick while you're working, and have to take time off. If you want to accumulate it "in case" something happens while you're still working, like a serious illness, a serious injury, or you need surgery, that's fine. But once you've retired, and are no longer working, it just doesn't make sense that you're entitled to that money. It's not money thst was deducted from your pay, it was never your money that your employer was holding back in case you needed it. It was a benefit of the job, that your employer would pay you sick time, and I believe that, depending on the job, you could be entitled to 2 or 3 days a month. At the low end, that's 24 days a year, and if you work for 30 years, that's 720 days of pay...basically 2 years...of sick pay that you could have accumulated if you never took it while you worked. And you get it all at the pay scale you were earning at retirement, so your highest salary. No kidding that people who are working jobs where they get no sick pay, or jobs that no longer cover basics like housing and food, since the prices of both have gone through the roof here in the last few years (we're now one of the most expensive cities in Canada to live, and there are tent encampments all over the place), and their taxes are paying for these huge sick time payouts.
The police chiefs of Ontario have been asking the Provincial government for years, decades, to give them the power to suspend officers without pay while waiting for police board hearings, and for some reason, no matter which of the 3 parties is in power, they refuse to grant them that. In other provinces, if an officer appears before their police board and is found not liable or not guilty, they do receive the pay thst was withheld while they were suspended, and that time does count toward days worked. And that system incentivized officers to want their hearings to happen as quickly as possible, because they're not receiving any pay while they're waiting around.
Sorry for the rant. I saw your comment, and it just set me off, because I remember the smug faces of those 3 officers appearing in the paper or online every few days while their cases were ongoing...or not going on.
Or he killed her and came back when he realized her purse was at his place and brought it by later, which explains why it was dry while the vehicle interior was wet. What about the scratches?
@@Terri_MacKay read last night two charged with manslaughter in the death of an indigenous man in Prince George
@@youarestronger I know that case.
A few years ago, a couple EMTs were charged with murder in our city for the way they responded to a call about a man who had been shot. They showed up on the scene, and refused to believe that he'd been shot. All the bystanders were telling them that he'd been shot, and where. Because he wasn't bleeding very much, they started bullying him, and telling him that he was fine. They told him that if he wanted to go to the hospital, then he had to walk to the ambulance himself. They never examined him, except to look at the spot on his clothing where he'd been shot, and decided that there was too little bleeding for it to be anything serious. They didn't even pull his clothing back to look at the spot on his body.
He was bleeding internally, and he died. He was East Indian.
I know that EMTs aren't police, but, like police, if you call them because you need their help, you are literally putting your life in their hands.
I would just like to take a moment and thank you, Cold Case Detective team, for creating such a model channel. It is very apparent to me that you strive to be respectful to victims and supportive of those that they have left behind. I really appreciate that you bring attention to cases like this one, that many people don't usually talk about, in an effort to support the family and loved ones. I also really appreciate that you never sensationalize or make light of anything that a victim endured, like some other channels do. I continue to be surprised that you don't have more subscribers, but please know that you are a model for true crime and investigative channels. I'm always excited to see a new video from y'all.
Big hugs,
Meg
"you strive to be respectful to victims and supportive of those that they have left behind" - But this is the stuff of Soap Opera, anot True Crime. Maybe you should consider becoming a Soap Opera fan if Crying and Blubbering about the victim and their family is really your thing. 25 years ago, True Crime involved factual reports about the murder and its investigation. Today, it is contaminated with testimonials about what a Blameless Angel the victim was along Sob Stories about their forever grieving family. Yuk !!!

Your initial comment was spot on, and I couldn't agree with you more!
How in the hell do you lose remains? 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ So unprofessional and irresponsible.
And yet seems to happen far more than it should, just terrible.
As soon as it was said the window was slightly opened I thought police.
Two videos on unsolved murders in Hawaiʻi in less than one month?!
With the exception of brief segments on our local news stations every few years, coverage of local cold cases is minimal. Thank you, CCD, for elevating these stories and helping to increase awareness both within and beyond our shorelines.
Tourist destinations often cover up or intentionally depublicize crime because it will hurt their economy to dissuade people from coming to visit
@@maddieb.4282 Yes! This is so true. Thank you for putting that out there.
Her body was unwashed and still in a body bag upon exhumation? What a disgrace!
A bungled investigation and it doesn't sound like its simply down to gross incompetence
Why was she in a police body bag??? Wouldnt her parents have had her body sent to a funeral home after autopsy?
How can the police uphold & cover up for this man? You'd think that it would be the police trying to bring this girl justice. Goes to show how broken our society is.
The way they did her remains was just wrong.
It is so sad the parents went to their grave's not knowing how their daughter died and the killer never been caught.. so sad
I don't believe her boyfriend had anything to do with it....
To me, it sounds like that cop did.....Lisa fought with him during the assault and it got out of hand.... imo...
I have no proof, just a gut feeling. RIP, Lisa
Wow what an apple dumpling gang of a police department. Andy and Barney Fife would've been better at solving it.
Cop did it, and his "brothers in blue" covered for him.
Thank you CCD. Your keeping their memories alive xx
Thanks CCD ❤
This is the first crime channel I stumbled upon, still one of my favourites, another respectful upload, no distracting loud music. Considering recent events in the uk, this is very possibly at the hands of a serving officer, loosing Lisa's scull and jaw..is no coincidence, its all there to prove a cover up. rip Lisa
Love this channel and all the work you do to bring these cases to light. You are not letting these people be forgotten.
Someone pretended to be a police officer, pulled her over then killed her.
Is this something you’re sure about? Do you have evidence that other people don’t?
@@maddieb.4282
It's a good theory at least but just that.
There was someone in our city in a large white car with blue strobes fitted to the grill, pulling people over then robbing them. This was quite a few years ago though but it'd still be possible to look 'official' enough that most people would stop. Scary!
It has been done for decades. Sadly.
@@maddieb.4282 no it's just my opinion of course I don't know for sure what happened.
It was either the cop or the boyfriend. It's 50/50 for me.
Thnx you for video 👍🏼
That was a fantastic representation of this case. I’m convinced it was the cop, and I hope someone knows something.
Definitely the cop and had others back him up
Hawaii has such wonder. Fresh salt air, keeps your lungs clear, allergies low. Cliff jumping and diving all day, plays music and firewalk by night. The place to be.
I hope she goes justice one day🙏🏼
Police cover up
I grew up in Hawaii - left in 1980 and only back for short visits since; however, I have heard of this case. I have to commend you with your correct pronunciations of the Hawaiian words!

A HORRIFYING STAIN ON HAWAIIS POLICE DEPARTMENT! EMBARRASSING
I'm from Oahu and this murder has haunted Hawaii for a long time.
F*ck yeah! i can’t wait to watch it later on this evening when i’m winding down for the night. you rock man & a lot of people appreciate all the hard work you put in to make these badass videos, i know i do so thanks bud. 💯
Enjoy ur night Brody. !
I’m doing the same right now.
Smoke, games CZcams tv.
Good time
This poor girl still can't find peace even in death. This effected the family so greatly, I'm so sorry for them... 💔 to not know what happened to your child has to be torture.... I pray they can find some answers someday
I will probably see Lisa's cousin at my next class reunion. It's hard to believe how long ago this case happened. 😞
This screams job not done
How do you lose a murder victims body after exhuming it
I can never understand why any police force would hide or protect any such perpetrator in a serious case such as this? Why? I mean why not root out the “bad eggs”? There would be more respect in general if that were the case. Someone knows that happened. That poor family.🙏❤️.x
Skip the ads. The video starts at 3:09
I noticed that.
Sounds like a police cover up
In 2002 I went to Hawaii and at that time they estimated 1 million tourists a year. Interesting to hear how much that has increased in the past 20 years.
Quick question...who "found" the victims car again?
And millions of pounds of plastic-garbage....
sounds like a cover-up to me.
Two min ad before the video
Heard about this from Reignbot. The boyfriend, imo..
Explains the dry purse if he had it at home and came by to place it in the car, which is why it was dry
2:51
I’ve known of this case for years and always suspected the boyfriend, because he found the car. How many times have we seen that scenario "coincidentally” happen?
Idk but I’ve seen it genuinely coincidentally happen many times because the people closest to the victim generally care about them, are looking for them, and generally hang out in the places where that person would hang out. Doesn’t rule him out but really doesn’t rule him in. Btw I worked LEO adjacent as a DA’s assistant working on sex crimes
How about the certain Police suspect and the witness' story of what she witnessed?
The boyfriend is obviously suspicious but there are things which don't match the boyfriend theory.
1) They're not married and there doesn't seem to be any baby coming. There's really no need to kill the girl, so unlikely it would be a planned murder.
2) They were fighting at a restaurant with eyewitness. Usually, if it were the boyfriend it would be a crime of passion but doesn't seem like the case.
3) Time for murder. I mean the boyfriend returned to the dorm afterwards and there should be people who witness him at the dorm so he wouldn't have time to deal with the body.
The police theory on the other hand is more likely. Here's why:
1) The window was half drawn (usually wouldn't be the case if it were a person familiar like the boyfriend).
2) The girl left her ID when she wrote a check at a shop. When she failed to present her ID, the police might order her to open the car door with the excuse he needed to examine something (for example). Since Lisa just got her license, she might not be familiar with the regular protocol and did as was told. He then tried to or sexually assaulted her in her car, cleaned the vehicle (crime scene) and took the bag for some reason and dumped the body. He later noticed it would be suspicious for her to be without her bag so placed the bag back later.

I’m getting annoyed by those introductions.
@@brishawn8571 yeah
@Reggie Hemsworth Lil boy please, quit acting like adults can not be annoyed by something and expect them to be all goody-goody and deal with it. We do not have to subject to or tolerate anything
Gee, Kamaka (sp?) kept putting hetself in the investigation. Doesn't that make her a suspect?
video starts at 3:05
I hope they get some justice her poor family. Cannot imagine their pain. Someone has to know something where is the purse? The boyfriend sounds suspicious too
Horrible investigation!
Was it July 20 or January 20? Because you said it happened on both in the story?
Inexperienced, uneducated and inept police and other depts.? Important witness with report that went nowhere. Sad and unfortunate that there are so many cases unsolved in a small island. Wonder how the departments have improved after 45 years?
Sounds like a cop or someone pretending to be a cop. Car on the side of the road? She must’ve been pulled over. Window half way down? She must’ve rolled it down to talk to the officer. If it was any other reason why roll down your window in the torrential rain? Purse dry? Must’ve taken it with her when he asked her to step out of the vehicle. Young women don’t pull over, roll down their window in the rain and leave with someone in the middle of the night on their way home unless it’s an authority figure. Her car had no mechanical issues either so it has to be police or someone pretending to be police.
Edit: I have seen many people recommend, even police officers themselves as there are those who impersonate officers say this: if you are alone and someone is trying to pull you over, do not stop. Let them know while staying in your locked vehicle with windows up that you will drive to X location and talk with them there. Pick a busy, well lit spot with cameras. If possible phone someone and inform them of your situation. Video call them during the event. Record it. Whatever you need.
cops protect cops
The “facts” as you say are distorted and dramatized. There is a lot left unsaid by your story and it leads to wrongful conclusions and perpetuates the rumors of the case.
Pigs covering for pigs. One bad apple spoils the whole barrel. Gotta love the American way.
ACAB. All of the apples are bad. If they weren't bad, they wouldn't be in the barrel in the first place. Pigs don't prevent crime- they commit it and/or escalate it.
Police not pigs. Bet you wouldn't be so disrespectful if you needed their help.

@@maramarxx2431
How does a body decompose in only 10 days? Unless, in 1982, forensics weren't that advanced yet.
Good question. I can only assume it's because of the Hawaiian heat and humidity, I've heard of similar rates of decomp happening in the south like Florida, Louisiana
It’s literally Hawaii dude decomp can start within HOURS in hot & humid environments. Check some of the personal stories from the Jonestown cleanup crew. They arrived THE NEXT DAY and the experiences of scraping bodily fluids mixed with maggots off of the ground is…. Very vivid
I'd say 10 days in that sort of climate is plenty to cause advanced decomposition.
Once again, police getting away with shit (allegedly)since the beginning of time.
I love your channel but these click bait titles are getting annoying
