have been revealed as police allege the suspect was armed with zip ties, made his victim smoke crystal meth multiple times, and shackled her to a bus. Court documents obtained by Hawaii News Now allege that 52-year-old Duncan Kealoha Mahi approached 15-year-old Mikella DeBina and her boyfriend at knifepoint on Friday night, demanding money and their cellphones.
” When the pair arrived at Mahi’s property in the town of Hilo, he allegedly shackled her to a yellow bus situated behind the main house with a “brown fabric cuff” on her ankle. Police said that the next day, DeBina convinced Mahi to take her to a local cafe, Cafe Pesto, to eat. That’s where good Samaritans Kori Takaki and Bridge Hartman recognized DeBina from an AMBER alert, noticed her distress, and “ripped her away.” Witnesses told police that Mahi insisted the victim was his daughter.
