In March 2014, Long Beach kitchen designer Dana Kathleen Jones died of massive head injuries that her husband claimed were caused by yoga. Her family believes she was murdered by her husband, variously named Carl Lynn Jenkins/Cain Finn Jones/Kane Finn Kealoha/Hucky or Huck. Long Beach Police homicide detectives Todd Johnson and Roger Zottneck botched the investigation due to blunders and intentional omissions, and made false statements about the evidence. Further, these detectives were protected and defended by Jim McDonnell and Erik Herzog.

You are doing Dana proud. I’ll be on the look out for Widower’s Pose.
No doubt in my mind that this was not an accident. Lisa, I hope you contact me.
Lisa, I just want to say I’m so sorry about the loss of your sister. Your story has captured my attention. As a Long Beach resident I find it appalling to learn how unprofessionally this was handled. I for one will be contacting authorities urging that this case be re-examined and re-investigated. You and your family deserve a much more thorough investigation than what is described.
Keep fighting the good fight and I and my neighbors will do what we can in support of this cause.
I cannot believe that a fall from a yoga pose can cause enough trauma to cause death. I practice yoga and find this impossible…there needs to be much more force to cause serious injury or death…..unless she threw herself to the ground at 20 MPH!
I am having serious doubts about how the fall caused her death.
I took a fall to where I hit my head on huge rocks….did sustain a blood clot, but didn’t kill me.
I am sorry for your loss and my hope is that the truth will be revealed. You are a wonderful sister to take this on and kudos to you!
Hello. Would you at all be interested in making a podcast about this? Please get in contact if so…
