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 his home alone at night for the first time ever, without his bicycle or jacket?
Did Khoi attempt to visit the Albertson's grocery store in his neighborhood, or could he have become confused and traveled to another Albertson's location?
Who may have encountered a deaf, non-speaking Asian male with a deformed right hand in the Vancouver, Washington area on the morning of April 7, 2007?
Khoi Vu, a 25-year-old deaf and non-speaking man with intellectual disabilities, disappeared from his family home in Vancouver, Washington between midnight and 1 a.m. on April 7, 2007, leaving behind his favorite jacket and bicycle—his primary transportation. His family discovered him missing around 8 a.m., which was highly unusual as he had never left home alone overnight or for extended periods before. Despite his communication challenges and vulnerability, Khoi remains missing nearly two decades later, and anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to contact the FBI.
