Regular visitors to this site might have thought the name of James Hall, central to the tale in yesterday’s post (“The squatters next door“) sounded familiar.
Indeed, it should have.
He was also central to a post back in October 2021, “The hotel next door,” which identified Hall as the owner of a multi-million dollar Nuuanu home that was the site of the April 2021 incident in which Honolulu police officers shot and killed a man when responding to a 911 call.
Yes, it’s the same person.
And the rest of the story, which I hope to post in the not-too-distant future, looks at the unlikely story of how, in a matter of months, Hall went from squatter to owner of a large home appraised for real property tax purposes at more than $3.2 million.
It’s Part 3 of this trilogy, and another curiously twisted saga. Coming soon. Hopefully.

Such a tangled web !!
OMG! A twisted saga indeed!
Looking forward to reading Part 3 Ian… and thank you once again for sharing your gift as a thorough researcher/journalist.
Pass the popcorn. Can’t believe this is real life. Sounds completely made up for Hollywood.
Guest starring Gary Dubin as the disgraced attorney.
Melodrama at its best. Keep them waiting, until…….
In light of your new title, Ian, all you need now is a sound effect: the voice of Paul Harvey to keep us awake in anticipation until the next (final?) installment.
Wow! Connecting the dots…… thank you Ian. As convoluted as a Turkish TV series.
