When did this press release come out?
When did the crash first get reported?
The crash was reported at 4:40pm Hawaii time, at http://www.kitv.com/news/hawaii/makani-kai-plane-crashes-off-molokai/-/8905354/23442094/-/139fxot/-/index.html
but it was not yet known who was killed. The crash happened about 3:45 so that report wasn’t even a whole hour after the crash occurred, much less was reported to the airport tower and fire and Coast Guard crews out to make the rescues.
At 7:20pm Hawaii time it was reported at http://www.kitv.com/news/hawaii/sources-health-director-fuddy-died-in-molokai-plane-crash/-/8905354/23444570/-/pbqey2/-/index.html?absolute=true that Fuddy was the casualty. IIRC that report had a statement from Abercrombie.
I found an even earlier report of the crash, at 4:25 Hawaii time, at http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/24198982/breaking-small-aircraft-crashes-off-kalaupapa?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
