Mystery surrounds divers' death."It's a complete mystery to me." Those are the words of Dr. George Hiakawa, Chief Medical Examiner for the Kauai Coroner's Office when asked about how a popular shell diver, Tiki Kalani, had died. "Whomever or whatever killed him, left only his skeleton. All the soft tissues, brain, eyes, intestines, muscles, tendons - everything was gone. I don't know of any marine organism that could do that. It must have been some kind of monster."Tiki Kalani was an avid shell diver. Many of his rare shells were used in island jewelry.

"Hawaiian Fish and Game divers dug his bones out of the bottom. It was a gruesome sight. I couldn't stop crying.

She's a marine biologist with an extensive background in DNA analysis. You should talk to her.

A Terrifying Prophetic TrilogyMillions of years ago, a series of explosive methane blowouts precipitated an extinction event that killed ninety-five percent of all life on earth. More recently, the discovery of thousands of methane craters, both on land and underwater, is clear evidence that mother nature can, and will, do it again.
