The person at the center of this case
Khoi Dang Vu
Justice for Khoi Dang Vu — the trail went cold in 2007, but the truth hasn't.
Start here
Why did Khoi leave without his favorite jacket and bicycle, his primary mode of transportation? This departure from routine suggests possible coercion or disorientation.
Could Khoi have become confused and traveled to a different Albertson's store location, given his familiarity with his neighborhood store and known tendency to confuse similar locations?
Did anyone observe Khoi during the early morning hours of April 7, 2007? His outgoing nature and willingness to approach strangers means he may have interacted with someone who could provide crucial information.
Khoi Dang Vu, a 25-year-old deaf man with a mental disability and limited communication skills, disappeared from his family home in Vancouver, Washington between midnight and 1 a.m. on April 7, 2007. His family discovered him missing around 8 a.m. when he failed to return, which was highly unusual as he had never left home alone for extended periods or gone out at night before. Despite his vulnerability and dependence on his bicycle for transportation, which he left behind, Khoi remains missing and investigators seek any information about his whereabouts or circumstances of his disappearance.

Given Khoi's communication limitations (deaf, non-verbal, limited ASL skills), could he have been taken advantage of or exploited by someone who recognized his vulnerability?
Even the smallest detail could be the key to solving this case.
