Summary

On March 24, 2025 two nurses hiking on the Pali Puka trail in Oahu, Hawaii heard a woman’s terrified pleas for help. Amanda Morris and her friend Sarah Buchsbaum rushed toward the screams to find a bloodied woman slowly inching down the trail on her stomach. A man was crouched over her, a rock clenched tightly in his fist. He violently smashed the jagged boulder against the woman’s head then froze in place when he noticed the two strangers watching him. The man took off up the trail and disappeared from sight. The woman had a massive head wound and blood was streaming down her face. While Amanda put pressure on the wound to try and stop the bleeding, Sarah shakily dialed 9-1-1. Sarah and Amanda tended to Arielle’s injuries as they waited for police to arrive. The two women rushing to her aid wondered: Who was the woman’s attacker? Was this a random assault? And, most chilling of all, what might’ve happened if they hadn’t heard her screams?
