Dana Jones must’ve been doing killer yoga when she died. She was a fit, healthy, 50-year-old kitchen designer from Long Beach, California.
According to the Los Angeles County Coroner, her cause of death was massive head trauma from a yoga fall at home. She must’ve been doing aerial yoga, dangling from a high ceiling when something went wrong and she crashed to the floor, right?
Actually, no. Even though Dana was an experienced yogi, police say she was doing an easy series of poses while following a beginner’s yoga instruction video online.
Police say Dana was barefoot, resting between poses in a standing position when her skull was cracked open by blunt force. The blow partially liquified her brain. Paramedics took her to a hospital immediately after it happened, but she was already brain dead.
Wow. How does this happen while doing yoga?
Insiders claim Dana was not killed by a “yoga fall” at all. Instead, they point to Dana’s husband, an unemployed construction worker named Carl Lynn Jenkins who, ten years into his marriage to Dana Jones, had changed his name to Cain Finn Jones.
Cain said he heard a loud crash, found Dana on the floor, and called for an ambulance.

At the hospital, doctors saw that Dana’s injuries were not consistent with Cain’s story. A hospital social worker called the Long Beach Police to report that Dana had been fatally assaulted.
The police must’ve been suspicious of this guy right from the start, right? Why would they let him walk away with hundreds of thousands of dollars in life insurance money?
The detective assigned to the case, Todd Johnson, had a history of disciplinary problems and abusing alcohol at work. He might’ve known Cain from local bars where they were regulars. Regardless of the reason, the detective immediately declared Cain to be innocent.
The detective ignored inconsistencies and fibs in Cain’s statements to the police. The detective ignored reports from patrol officers who learned that Dana’s neighbors suspected Cain of being an abusive spouse who bragged about having guns to defend his property. In his reports about the case, the detective omitted key information and presented falsehoods as facts. Read the police reports.
Instead of asking questions the detective pointed at the many surveillance cameras Cain had installed in and around his house. No one would be stupid enough to kill with so many cameras around, duh. The detective didn’t bother to notice that Cain could turn cameras on and off remotely.
Why would a homicide detective help Cain get away with murder? Alcohol, laziness, or a personal connection with Cain could have been the reason. But the detective had another incentive: Dana’s organs were extremely valuable. She was in excellent health. Her heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and other parts of her body could be harvested and used in medical treatments for other patients.
The Los Angeles County Coroner at the time, Mark Farjado, was major supporter of harvesting organs and tissue from bodies assigned to the coroner’s office. Dana, as a victim of possible foul play, had become a coroner’s case. But an autopsy would ruin all of her priceless organs.
Instead of sending Dana’s body from the hospital directly to the medical examiner for an autopsy, the police and coroner sent her on a detour to an organ harvesting facility run by One Legacy. Dana’s organs and other tissue were removed. Later, her body was sent to the coroner.
The organ-harvesting process destroyed any possible evidence that Dana had been suffering long-term physical abuse by her husband. Any evidence of a “yoga fall,” such as bruising on Dana’s elbows, back, or tailbone was also destroyed.
When Dana’s remains were at last delivered to the medical examiner, her severe head wounds were obvious. There was a deep, inches-long laceration in her scalp. Her skull had been cracked. Careful examination of her brain showed that she had not suffered a stroke or any other neurological problem that might have led to a fall or collapse. Instead, she was killed by a sharp, sudden blow to the lower left side of her head.
Wow, such extreme, unlikely injuries. How could they have happened while she was doing a simple, follow-along yoga routine? Isn’t it more likely that Dana’s husband Cain had something to do with bashing her skull? He was alone in the house with Dana when she was injured, after all.
To the disbelief of Dana’s family and friends, the medical examiner said that Dana’s death was due to a yoga accident. The police and coroner refused to explain their conclusions to Dana’s family. Read the autopsy report.
Years went by. Detective Johnson was demoted and later resigned from the Long Beach Police Department. He worked as an investigator on the defense team for Kyle Rittenhouse. In 2021 in Arizona, Johnson was accused of drinking heavily and sexually assaulting a woman who had come forward as a witness in the Rittenhouse case.
Dana’s husband Cain Finn Jones changed his name to Kane Finn Kealoha. He moved out of Long Beach to the mountains near Lake Arrowhead. According to people who have talked to him recently, he is eager to talk about his dead wife. He lets everyone know that the police cleared him of wrongdoing. He is an innocent man, falsely accused.
But Kane tells people that Dana died in a car crash, not in a yoga accident. The Long Beach Police and the Los Angeles County Coroner are the only people who still pretend that Dana Jones was killed by yoga.
