Myles Yukata Fukunaga (1909–1929) was a Japanese-American from Honolulu, Hawaii.[1] On September 18, 1928, he kidnapped and murdered George Gill Jamieson, the 10-year-old son of a local banker.[2] [3]
Subsequent to the murder, he demanded a $10,000 ransom. Before the body of the victim was found, the Hawaiian Trust Company offered a reward of $5,000 with no questions asked.[4] Fukunaga eventually received $4,000 in $5 bills from the victim's father before he was arrested.[5] He was convicted of first degree murder, sentenced to death, and executed.[6]
