On Christmas Eve, 1991, a 23-year-old woman went missing after a bike ride from her boyfriend’s house in Hawaii. When police discovered her bike, it appeared that someone had purposefully driven into her. Soon, her body was found, but with DNA from an unknown male at the scene, many are questioning whether the wrong men were put behind bars. This is the murder of Dana Ireland.
