By Jennifer Sinco KelleherThe father of a Hawaii boy who went missing 20 years ago pleaded guilty to manslaughter today in a deal with prosecutors that requires him to provide answers about where the child's body is located. Jaylin Kema pleaded guilty last year to manslaughter in the first official confirmation that the child was dead. Despite having health insurance, Jaylin Kema didn't get her son medical treatment and didn't report the abuse because she was afraid of her husband, Damerville said. Sometime between May and June 1997, the couple's then-4-year-old daughter heard Jaylin Kema calling out for her husband and saw her trying to resuscitate the boy. Prosecutors do not believe Jaylin Kema knows where the boy's body is, Damerville said.
