On October 2, 1983, 43-year-old Yim L. Eng was abducted from her Hurley, New York, home after gunmen forced entry, chloroformed her and carried her away. The kidnappers contacted one of her husband’s restaurant employees and demanded $300,000; the family delivered $180,000 but Eng was never returned.

The kidnappers later told the employee that Eng had died from an overdose of chloroform and that her body had been disposed of in a swampy area near Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Extensive searches there turned up no remains. Investigators ultimately found the plot had been run by people known to the family rather than by an outside syndicate: several of the husband’s former and current restaurant employees were implicated, and four individuals were convicted for roles in the conspiracy. One convicted conspirator later said an unapprehended member of the group was responsible for Eng’s death after the ransom payment.

The location of Yim Eng’s remains and the precise circumstances of her death remain unresolved. Does anyone have information that could help locate her remains or clarify what happened after the ransom was paid?
