On October 8, 2014, 38-year-old Hai Yan Li was found murdered in her Guilderland, New York, home on Western Avenue. The killing was part of a quadruple homicide that also took the lives of her husband, 39-year-old Jin Feng Chen, and their sons Anthony, 10, and Eddy, 7. A coworker of Jin Feng Chen discovered the family after Chen failed to report for a shift at a local restaurant.

Authorities described the scene as horrific. The family had been bludgeoned to death, and some reports said they had also been stabbed with a knife. Local, state and federal agencies investigated, and authorities examined theories that included unverified claims about Chen’s possible involvement in illegal activities, but no clear motive has been established.

The investigation has extended beyond the region and included inquiries reaching to China, yet no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Does anyone who knew the Chen family or lived in Guilderland at the time have information that could help?
