Amnoun Sayphanya, 60, was last seen in Houston, Texas, in November 2014, though the exact date of her disappearance is unclear because family members didn’t report hearing from her for years and the case only came to authorities’ attention in 2017. Sayphanya had been living with her son, Donny Soundara Daosavanh, at the time she vanished.

In 2024 Daosavanh was charged with his mother’s murder. Prosecutors say he allegedly told multiple people he killed her, kept her body in a bathtub for days, then buried it. Sayphanya’s body has not been found and investigators continue searching for her remains; Daosavanh is awaiting trial and has a prior conviction for assaulting a family member in 2010.

Anyone with information that could help locate Amnoun Sayphanya or her remains is asked to contact Houston authorities.
