Hang Lee was last seen leaving her family’s home in St. Paul between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. on January 12, 1993. She left behind all her clothing, college savings, a $100 paycheck and her purse, which contained a knife and a lead ball for personal protection.

Hang went with an eighteen-year-old friend, Kia Nikki Lee, to meet Nikki’s employer, Mark Steven Wallace, at his painting and carpentry business. Nikki says Wallace was driving a 1988 Chevrolet Cavalier when he drove away with Hang in the front passenger seat; he later told police he dropped her off near Rice Street and Wheelock Parkway by the Wong Cafe. Wallace is the prime suspect: he was convicted of two violent rapes in 1987, has been linked to other sex crimes, and has told another woman he killed a woman in St. Paul. Wallace has not been charged in Hang’s disappearance. Investigators searched his former property in 2009 but found no evidence.

Hang was a senior in high school who hoped to attend the University of Minnesota. Her case remains unsolved and foul play is suspected. If anyone knew Hang, saw her on January 12, 1993, or has information about the locations mentioned, please come forward.
