The woman’s family is desperate for answers.

A Southwest Airlines flight attendant has been found dead during a layover in Hawaii, leaving her family desperate for answers. Jenny Lupton, 50, of Moore, Oklahoma, was found around 6 a.m. on Thursday in Waikiki. Lupton’s family said the medical examiner told them she appeared to have fallen from the balcony of her 24th-floor room at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort. A hotel employee reportedly found her body near a dumpster. Her relatives say they have been given few details and are unsure whether anyone witnessed the fall, according to The Sun. They also say hotel security told them more than 70 cameras cover the area, and police are reviewing footage. Her sister, Tresa Lupton, said the family does not believe Jenny intentionally harmed herself. “We just want to know what happened,” she told The Sun. According to Tresa, her sister had spent time with a fellow flight attendant and got a new tattoo shortly before her death. Lupton had worked as a Southwest flight attendant for 29 years and leaves behind a 15-year-old son.
