In episode 5 of "The Other Side of Paradise," HNN investigative reporter Lynn Kawano sits down with longtime Hawaii journalist Daryl Huff to talk about admitted killer Randall Saito. Saito was acquitted by reason of insanity for the gruesome 1979 killing of 29-year-old Sandra Yamashiro at Ala Moana Center. He was committed to the Hawaii State Hospital in 1981 after experts diagnosed him with necrophilia, even while others said he was fit to stand trial. Questions still remain about how he was able to avoid the murder conviction. And all those questions were unearthed again in 2017, when he escaped from Hawaii State Hospital and flew to California. He was caught again, but it's unlikely we've heard the last of him.
