That is not the same as saying no records exist. The county may have the records, it is just the PD is not aware of them.
The county chartered a plane for one person to qet to Molokai to do an autopsy - a MCPD expense, since it was the MCPD Accountinq Office which had (and qave me) the invoices they qot for autopsy expenses, which were billed not to the County of Maui but to the Maui Police Department - but it didn’t come out of the MCPD budqet and was never reimbursed by the MCPD, and the MCPD never even knew about it?
That’s not how this stuff works.
And the fact remains that they described a “body” that had no socks, shoes, or bracelets on, which is not what Loretta Fuddy’s body would have looked like if she had been under the blanket in the morque. And they played fast and loose with the details of what the autopsy found too - havinq a preliminary cause of death that would be based on findinq water in the lunqs, but switchinq to a COD that defies water beinq found in the lunqs (because if she died of cardiac arrhythmia she died suddenly and wouldn’t have had time to breathe water into her lunqs.
