A MISSING man's body has been found decomposing inside an encasing of concrete in his bathtub in Hawaii.
Honolulu Police are looking for suspects Scott Hannon, 34, and Juan Tejedor Baron, 23 - police say Baron and the victim were in an intimate relationship.
Police originally were sent to the 73-year-old victim's Hawaii Loa Ridge home Monday following a missing person's report from the victim's brother.
The unnamed victim reportedly owned the house, which is located in an affluent gated community.
Authorities returned to the scene later that afternoon following no response that morning. They found and questioned Baron at the home, who claimed that he lived there.
“It didn’t appear suspicious at that time,” HPD's Lieutenant Deena Thoemmes said. “Missing persons detectives notified and responded to the scene to continue the investigation.”

Authorities questioned Hannon and Baron and took pictures of them, but eventually released them from the scene.
Later in the investigation, police found a standalone tub filled with a concrete mix and covered in coffee grounds -- likely to mask the smell of the decomposition.
“When we entered, we smelled coffee no doubt,“ said Thoemmes.
Once investigators began to chip away at the tub, they realized that there was a decomposed body inside.

But by that time, Baron and Hannon had already disappeared.
The suspects were last seen at 1am Tuesday in the Waikiki area.
Police say that the men could be armed and dangerous, so civilians who see them should avoid them and call the police immediately.
“We don’t know if there was a weapon used at this point. That’s still early on in our investigation,” Thoemmes said.

Thoemmes clarified that Baron has a residence in Texas, while Hannon's passport says he resides in Massachusetts.
According to Thoemmes, an autopsy for the victim will be conducted Wednesday to determine the cause of death.
