The Coast News Group reports that 17-year-old Haloa Beaudet is facing murder charges for the killing of Lisa Thorborg of Carlsbad, California.

“Beaudet is accused of stabbing Carlsbad resident Lisa Thorborg, 68, twice in the neck on Nov. 23 in Hosp Grove Park. Carlsbad police arrested Beaudet on Dec. 14, several days after he was questioned about Thorborg’s murder.”

The Hawaii Police Department reported that Beaudet went missing from the Hilo Youth Academy on February 1, 2020 along with 17-year-old Andrew K. Cox.

“Hawaiʻi Island Police are asking the public’s help in locating 17-year old Andrew K. Cox Jr. of Hilo and 16-year old Haloa Beaudet of Kailua-Kona who were reported as missing.  Both juveniles were last seen at the Hawaiʻi Youth Challenge Academy in Hilo on February 1, 2020. 

Andrew K. Cox Jr. is described as being 5’8” tall, 134 pounds with brown eyes and short black hair. Haloa Beaudet is described as being 5’4”, 132 pounds with brown eyes and short black hair.”

According to the Gold Coast News Group, Beaudet had previously lived in Hawaii with his maternal grandmother.

“However, Deputy District Attorney Helen Kim painted a different picture, noting Beaudet was suspended “multiple times” for fighting at school in Oregon. Prior to moving to Oregon, Beaudet lived in Hawaii with his maternal grandmother, who sent him to a boarding school.

Kim said Beaudet twice ran away from the school, although Hernandez said her grandson enrolled in the school to earn his diploma early with hopes of joining the military.

When Beaudet moved to Carlsbad, he enrolled in an online home school, Hernandez said. He was to live with the Hernandez’s for six months, at which time the family would re-evaluate the situation.”
