Kauai slaying of former inmate not believed to be tied to organized crime

LIHUE, Hawaii � Kauai police say they have no reason to believe the recent slaying of a 47-year-old man who was found dead shortly after being released from prison is connected to organized crime.
Daniel Bonanno was released from an Oahu prison Nov. 8 and found dead in a parked pickup truck the following morning on Kauai. He had served five years on a theft charge.
Marianne Trombley told The Garden Island that her ex-husband was the son of an organized-crime figure on the East Coast.
But Assistant Police Chief Roy Asher on Wednesday said he believed a �local culprit� was involved and there was �no reason to believe that it�s an outside entity.�
Trombley also told the newspaper that she believed the killing could�ve been arranged by someone Bonanno angered in one of the three prisons he served time in.
