Newly Unsealed Documents In Miske Case Tell A Grisly Tale Of Kidnap, Torture And Murder…A federal judge recently ordered prosecutors to make public dozens of search warrants and other documents in the conspiracy and murder trial of alleged crime boss Mike Miske.
Previously secret search warrants and related court records, made public for the first time last week, contain disturbing new allegations about the disappearance of 21-year-old Jonathan Fraser, who vanished from the Hawaii Kai apartment where he and his girlfriend were living on July 30, 2016.
The documents show that in November and early December 2016, just four months after Fraser’s disappearance, a confidential FBI source told investigators he had been at a residence in Kalihi where a man, later recognized as Fraser, was bound to a lawn chair with plastic ties and duct tape, kicked repeatedly in the head, then burned with a torch.
However, it remains unclear whether investigators ultimately believed this to be a true and reliable account of Fraser’s demise.
Federal prosecutors allege former Honolulu businessman Michael J. Miske Jr., owner of Kamaaina Termite and Pest Control, M Nightclub and other Hawaii businesses, directed and funded the kidnapping-murder scheme as retribution for what Miske mistakenly believed was Fraser’s role in his son’s death.
