- In April 2006, Kauai resident, Luis Soltren was concerned when his longtime friend, Elwin didn't return from an International trip and wasn’t returning phone calls. Elwin’s credit card statements indicated something was awry, as they were still being used after Elwin was reported missing while traveling to the Philippines in May with Henry Calucag Jr., also known as Hank Jacinto.
On May 14th, Elwin's body was found to the side of the road, six hours by car, outside Manila in a Northern province, with a shot to his head.
Soltren, suspicious of Calucag, investigated and found Elwin’s property was in Calucag's name. Police said Calucag took possession of Elwin's vehicle and parcel of land in Kalihiwai using forged documents following Elwin's disappearance.
Calucag was arrested on theft, computer fraud, forgery and identity theft, for allegedly stealing nearly $250,000 worth of Elwin’s property. Officers approached him while he was using six of Elwin’s horses at Waimanalo Polo Fields as though they were his own.
Though he initially tried to get away from law enforcement on his golf cart, he was arrested without incident. The arrest came after officials tried to track him down at his “home address,” which turned out to be nonexistent - nothing more than a tennis court and water tank.
Prosecutors presented Calucag's prior federal bank fraud convictions, his violations of parole and the basis for the current charges. A Honolulu police detective also testified that Jacinto's purported computer network business was no more than a mail drop.
Prosecutors additionally filed fraudulent use of credit card charges against Jacinto. Among one of Jacinto's fraud purchases- water polo mallets, using Elwin's credit card.
Calucag had a long rap sheet, which runs the gamut from foreclosure to bank fraud, the latter of which he was convicted in July 1996. Dating back to 1980, Calucag faced several lawsuits, including debt complaints filed by plaintiffs Pioneer Federal Savings & Loan and Citibank.
In 2000, he was put on five-years probation, according to court records.
In addition to telling other Kaua‘i residents he was a polo player, testimony gathered by the prosecution and contained in the court file states many believed Calucag came from a wealthy Filipino family and that he had a handful of successful businesses in the Philippines.
Internet archives show Calucag was in several top positions in online enterprises, one of which had a mission statement claiming to solicit money for orphans, and another that claimed to offer e-business solutions for American and Filipino clients.
In addition to the commonality of having Calucag's name on the Web sites, several listed the same post office drop box listed as an address for sending correspondence or donations. When America's Most Wanted traveled to the Philippines, the listed address was merely an empty call center.
Those listed among the corporate officers include Douglas Ho, who has been missing since January 2005, and Debbie Anagaran, Jacinto’s girlfriend, who has been living in the residence of another man who disappeared more than a decade ago, Arthur Young. Both Ho and Young were said to have been reported missing after traveling to the Philippines.
Calucag was also facing wire fraud and other charges in connection with Arthur Young, who disappeared after traveling to the Philippines in 1990, and Douglas Ho, who was never seen again after traveling to the Philippines in 2004.
Calucag is serving a 30-year state prison sentence for forging Elwin’s signature on documents transferring title to land on Kauai to himself and for using Elwin’s credit cards to make Internet purchases after Elwin was dead.
Calucag was never charged with the murder of John Elwin, but he pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud in a plea deal with the federal prosecutor.

"Come sightseeing and leave all forms of identification"
That should have been a huge red flag for Elwin
Seems like the show added that bit in, no criminal would say such a thing.

@@ANGELSURS Yea but most of us don’t make as much for doing it.
@@tyjax5119 true 👍
NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH FAMILY OR FRIENDS......you'll lose your money or your life......maybe, it's just me, but if an acquaintance o r friend told me to leave my ID, & we were going to the jungle to sight-see......i'm out ! !
That's very true and the worst part is that sometimes if you don't go through with it they persist that they don't take no for an answer.
