Lian Fong Feng was 52 when she was last seen at her Queens apartment on the morning of July 19, 2002. A native of China who moved to the United States in 1984, she lived with her adult daughter, Jena Liang, on the second floor while her husband, Roger Hui, lived on the first. Reports describe Lian as shy and reclusive and say she spoke only Chinese.

When Jena returned home she found bloodstains on the floor, ceiling, and a vase and signs someone had tried to clean the area. There were no signs of forced entry, Lian’s wallet and passport remained in the apartment, and her bank account showed no activity after that day. Police records reportedly indicated strong evidence of foul play, but Lian’s body has never been found and no one has been charged.

The case has seen contentious developments: in 2008 Hui tried to have Lian declared legally dead to control her estate and a life insurance policy, a move contested by Liang. Liang says she was told case evidence had been destroyed in a flood at One Police Plaza, a claim the NYPD later denied while saying the Queens Homicide squad was investigating. Does anyone have information about Lian’s last movements or the apartment that could help reopen leads?
