    Put yourself in her shoes. She heard screaming and didn’t know what was going on. She didn’t know if a killer was still around and probably didn’t want to move a muscle or make any sound to indicate her presence or that she heard, because he might then come after her. When daylight arrived, she probably then had the courage to call 911 since it had been a while and didn’t hear any more noises. It’s not very hard to take a minute to try to understand what that tenant may have been experiencing.

    Good question. Makes no sense, does it. It also makes no sense that nobody else in the neighborhood heard any screaming except for her. It's also strange that she claims she dialed 911 at 8:30 AM , the police arrived at 8:34 AM , and although they knocked on the front door, she allegedly didn't have the common sense to call out , " Help !" When they were a few feet away. Allegedly the police walked around the house for 25 minutes and yet she never called out once , " Help " ? Really ? She then claims she waited until the police left ( Why ?) and then climbs out of a second story window ( That's much safer than just calling out to the police between 8:34 and 9 AM ) and then waits until 9:15 AM to call the police again. Her story does not add up . None of this does. I hear the polices version of this story, it just doesn't make any sense.

    @@sarahrose4126 was it a second-story window? I assumed the tenant lived downstairs because neighbors said the family lived in the upstairs of their house. It makes sense to me for only her to hear it because she’s in the same house, vs others who are in their own homes so there is space and another set of walls between them. It was also the middle of the night, so it may not have been loud enough to wake up other neighbors.

    It was weird that the tenant heard loud screamings and all the happenings outside her room between 2 am to 2.30 am but she didn't call the police till 8.34 am when blood was seeping underneath her room door. Those people didn't die immediately but slowly bleed to death within a couple of hours according to the medical examiner. Does it mean that if the tenant had called the police at 2 am to investigate about the screaming in the house, the murder could be stopped and the injured sent to the emergency immediately and survived? RIP to the Oda family.

    The exact same thing happened in the Idaho 4 killings. It’s a response to trauma that we see mostly with women. Their reality becomes an intrusive thought that they fight off because they don’t want it to be real. They don’t want to believe that what they heard was an entire family being brutally murdered.

    ​Are you listening to yourself ? What kind of woman knows that there are three minors in the house and ALLEGEDZkY ( allegedly being the key word here ) allegedly does not dial 911 immediately to make sure the children are ok ? That's not credible. It's also not credible because she had a cell phone. She could have texted anybody in Hawaii ( or Japan , if this woman was Japanese ) and had them call HPD and let them know minors were in danger. Her story is completely not credible. Period.

    Heres all the details that simply do not add up for me . 1.) This alleged witness statements do not add up for me and do not seem to match the neighbors statements. First of all , this alleged " witness " does not have a US phone. They have an " international " phone Ok. So who is the mystery, alleged witness that allegedly heard " screaming " at 2-2:30 in the morning that nobody else ten feet away heard ? How credible is this witness when she didnt dial 911 at 2 in the morning when she first allegedly heard screaming nobody else in the neighborhood heard , although she well knew there were minors in the home ? What kind of " woman " does not have the courage to dial 911 from the safety of a locked bedroom when children could be dying right next to her ? 2.) This alleged " witness " then claims she was too scared to walk out of her bedroom at 8:34 AM although police were literally feet away knocking on the front door ? Really ? The windows are mere feet from the front door. She didnt think to yell out, " Help !! Theres blood outside my bedroom ! " To the officers a few feet away from her ? Really ? This womans credibility has now gone from low to zero for me at this point . 3.) The woman then alleges that instead of yelling out to the officers who were roaming around the property from 8:34 to 9 AM, finally waits for all the officers to leave ( Sure ,that makes sense ), and then crawls out of a second story window ( What ? ) and then waits until 9:15 to dial 911 again . What ? If she was truly afraid for her live, i would think she would have run madly to a neighbors house, and then dialed 911 from the safety of a neighbors home. I'd love to see drone footage of this womans second story window and how she got down out of a second story window INSTEAD OF just calling out to the police during the 25 minutes they were feet from her window. 🤦. Ok. Here's what does make sense to me. In my opinion , i would find it credible that this woman could have been downstairs during this event. The downstairs neighbors allegedly flew off to Japan Saturday and allegedly " weren't home " during this event. ( That i might believe ). In any case, this mystery roomate with the " international " number probably did hear people walking above staging bodies between 2 and 2:30 AM. That i might believe . I dont believe there were any screams at 2 AM because theres no way this one mystery person heard screaming and no neighbors did. It is also not credible to me that she sat in her bedroom and watched the police crawl around the property and not yell out if this was a real murder / suicide scene. I would guess that perhaps she thought the front door was open and the police would just walk in and see the bodies. But the front door was locked . She may not have known that, so she had to call back at 9:15 AM and appear outside the house to give this ridiculous story that literally makes no sense whatsoever . Everybody else can buy this story , but the more i hear, the less i find the current narrative even slightly credible.

    My sincere condolences to the victims of this horrific yet senseless tragedy! Many points in this tragic event makes zero sense. “Tenant” heard screaming between 2:00-2:30am, was too scared to exit her room which appears to be on the same floor as the family because later she claims blood was spilling into her room from under her door. First question: Killer knows she is there because she is their tenant who rents a room in their home, SO why didn’t he kill her too? Or kill her first so she won’t be able to alert the police and stop his plan to murder his whole family in one evening? Obviously, in an attempt to murder 4 individuals in separate rooms, someone is bound to start screaming, run, or call the police, all of which would hinder his plan. Secondly, why did she wait 6 whole fricken hours to report the incident? She could of save their lives. Their deaths occurred over a few hours of time, slowly bled to death. Thirdly, why didn’t she at last open her window and yell for the police when she saw them outside the home? They walked around the exterior for a god 20-25 minutes and left. She waited an additional 15 minutes after they left to call 911 again. Additional questions: Why is it that no one on that family heard the others screaming and booked it out of the house, or called 911? It has to take a good amount of time to kill 4 people with a fricken knife, each one displayed signs of struggle and multiple stab wounds. At least one person should have had a chance to run, our pound on the door of their tenant, alert a neighbor? And the “suspect” has multiple stab wounds to his chest. I couldn’t imagine stabbing myself more than once in my chest no matter how much I wanted to die. And still land on the floor with the knife held in my hand. Really?? Wow! This is way too suspicious. I sincerely hope these innocent family members receive the proper & thorough Justice they deserve🙏🏼 Might want to check if the “tenant” has her name anywhere on the deed to that home or bank accounts. On another note, not only guns are used to hurt or kill, so do knives, hammers, vehicles, hands/fists, baseball bats, machetes, etc. Guns nor any of their tools are the murderer, it’s the person on the other end of the murder object. If Government was right that guns should be banned, then should they ban cars, knives, hammers, swords, machetes, baseball bats, golf clubs, etc.? This incident involving murders by one knife shows that it’s not about guns but about evil, deranged people commit murders and NOT the weapon; weapons come in different forms which are TOOLS used to hurt or kill people. Government must leave our 2nd amendment rights alone! We will not be a defenseless society. Someone could of stopped this murder from playing all the way out if they had a gun. May the victims rest in peace 🙏🏼
