On October 8, 2014, seven-year-old Eddy Chen of Guilderland, New York, was found murdered in his family’s home on Western Avenue. Eddy, his ten-year-old brother Anthony, their father Jin Feng Chen, 39, and their mother Hai Yan Li, 38, were all found fatally bludgeoned and stabbed; wounds suggested use of a hammer and knives. Jin Feng Chen was discovered downstairs; the wife and children were upstairs and their bodies were covered with blankets.

A coworker became concerned when Jin Feng Chen did not show up for work at a local Chinese restaurant and alerted authorities. Local, state and federal agencies investigated and pursued more than 600 leads extending to Canada and China, but no suspects have been identified and no arrests were announced. Investigators examined possible motives including organized crime links, human trafficking, illegal gambling and handling of off-the-books cash, and the Albany County District Attorney offered immunity from immigration charges to encourage cooperation; none of those efforts produced a definitive resolution.

The family’s deaths remain unsolved. If anyone knew the Chens, their movements the days before October 8, 2014, or has information related to the alleged gambling or cash-handling activity, please come forward.
