Police find dead woman in trunk, 2 juveniles in Hawaii home

HONOLULU (AP) — A Hawaii man remained jailed on suspicion of three murders Friday after officers responding to a home disturbance arrived just as he was driving away from the scene with blood dripping from the trunk of his car.

Officers pulled over and arrested John Ali Hoffman after spotting him leaving the house and driving away in a car with its headlights off and a gun on the front seat about 1:30 a.m. Friday, police said.

The dripping blood led officers to a woman's body stuffed in the trunk and two dead children inside the house in a subdivision in the rural Puna district, police said.

Police didn't disclose the exact address, but Hoffman's name is not listed as a property owner, said Richard Robbins, a Leilani Community Association board member.
