– Couple in California hides as carjacker taunts.
Accident – Death – Obituary News :
In a terrifying turn of events, Maui police have revealed harrowing details surrounding a carjacking and subsequent arrest that took place earlier this month. The incident, which occurred on June 4, involved a California couple, a 29-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man, who were travelling towards Kihei after a trip to Hana.
According to reports, as the couple drove along Pi’ilani Highway, they noticed a Toyota Tacoma following them with its headlights turned off. Feeling uneasy, they allowed the truck to pass, only for it to come to a sudden stop on the road. The male suspect emerged from the vehicle, brandishing a firearm and demanding the couple to vacate their vehicle and start walking.
Following the carjacking, the suspect drove off in the couple’s rented Ford Mustang. In a desperate bid to escape, the couple sought refuge behind bushes and boulders by the roadside. However, their ordeal was far from over as the suspect circled back in the stolen Mustang, prompting the couple to flee towards the summit area of Haleakala.
After nearly 24 hours of hiding and hiking, the couple was eventually assisted by a group of hikers and park rangers who guided them to safety at the visitor’s center. In the aftermath of the crime, a collaborative effort by law enforcement agencies led to the arrest of 35-year-old Christopher Helmer on June 8.
During Helmer’s arrest, authorities discovered him in possession of the stolen Mustang and a loaded firearm. Subsequent investigations unearthed further evidence linking him to the robbery, as well as the recovery of the stolen Tacoma. Helmer was indicted by a grand jury on June 21, facing charges ranging from first-degree robbery to firearm and drug offences, along with driving a stolen vehicle.
With bail set at £500,000, Helmer remains in police custody as the investigation continues to explore the possibility of accomplices. At present, there is no confirmation of any additional individuals involved in the crime.
