Previously, on February 8 (the 29th of Lunar New Year), Ms. Thong finished her shift at the company and returned to her rented room on Quang Trung Street, Ward 5, Tang Nhon Phu B Ward. After that, she texted her family to inform them that she was preparing to return home for Tet.

Her family in Cam My district, Dong Nai province, about 80km away, waited for a long time but did not see Ms. Thong return and could not contact her by phone. The family contacted everywhere to search but to no avail.

It is known that Ms. Thong lives with her boyfriend, Mr. Tuan, but he returned to his hometown in Phu Yen about a month ago.

On the morning of the 30th of Tet, Mr. Tuan called to inform Ms. Thong's family that he had asked someone to go to the rented room to investigate but found the door locked from the outside. The person who was asked to come broke the lock and searched inside but could not find her.

At noon that same day, Ms. Thong’s family ran up to her rented room. There, they discovered that there was still a motorbike in the room, with bags of things that Ms. Thong was preparing to take back to her hometown.

Ms. Thong's family reported the matter to the local police. To date, 4 days have passed but Ms. Thong is still mysteriously missing.
