Phoulivay Thetsombandith was 20 when he disappeared from San Diego on August 18, 1991. A Laotian native who had been living with relatives in San Diego since 1989 to learn English, he was living with an uncle in East San Diego and planned to meet visiting parents in Salt Lake City. On the morning of his disappearance, about 7:30 a.m., he was walking to another uncle’s house four blocks away when four or five men abducted him at gunpoint and forced him into a white or gray 1991 Buick Skylark. A single white shoe was left at the scene.

The investigation led to the conviction of Percyval Leslie Dryden for Thetsombandith’s murder; Dryden was sentenced to 19 years to life for second-degree murder and the use of a firearm. Dryden maintained he had spoken to Thetsombandith and then let him out of the vehicle a block from where he was taken, and he never revealed the body’s location. Phoulivay Thetsombandith has never been found.

Does anyone have information about Phoulivay’s last known movements, the 6000 block of Brooklyn Avenue in 1991, or the white 1991 Buick Skylark involved?
