Twelve-year-old Jie Li left her family’s apartment on Nuuanu Avenue in Honolulu in the late afternoon of a Thursday in February 1988 to sell Zippy’s Chili fundraiser tickets for her sixth-grade class and never returned. Witnesses last saw her near the 7-Eleven at Nuuanu Avenue and Kuakini Street, where people recalled a girl approaching customers; some later said they saw her speaking to a man outside the store and others described a girl in the back of a vintage yellow or 1950s-model Chevrolet sedan. Police mounted an extensive search that logged about 39,000 man-hours in the first eight weeks and circulated composite sketches, and investigators came to suspect a non-family abduction. No solid evidence has ever been uncovered, and the family has kept the same phone number since 1988 hoping for news.

Does anyone who lived in Nuuanu in 1988 remember seeing anything near the 7-Eleven that afternoon or recognize the composite sketches?
