In August of 1999 21-year-old Jubilee Lum, also known as Maile, (pronounced My-lee) was last seen getting into a light-colored Ford Econoline van in Honolulu’s Kalihi area. Less than 24 hours later, her body was discovered in a trash bin behind a florist on South Beretania Street, wrapped in garbage bags. Jubilee, who was four months pregnant at the time, died from suffocation by strangulation.

 

 

Despite early investigative efforts and a possible connection to the murder of Michelle Anne Bensinger, the case remains unsolved. More than two decades later, there have been no arrests, leaving Jubilee’s family still searching for answers and justice.
