Hyun Jong Song, known to friends as Cindy, was 21 and a Pennsylvania State University student when she disappeared from State College, Pennsylvania, in the early morning hours of November 1, 2001. After a Halloween night out she was dropped at her apartment at roughly 4:00 a.m.; her backpack, cell phone and false eyelashes were found inside, but her purse with keys, credit cards and driver’s license was missing. There were no signs of forced entry or a struggle.

Investigators pursued several leads: a reported sighting in Philadelphia’s Chinatown that could not be verified, the possibility she walked to a nearby 24-hour supermarket (its tapes had been recorded over), and a later informant tip linking convicted killer Hugo Selenski to the abduction and murder of a young Asian woman around that time. Selenski’s property yielded multiple sets of remains, but none were identified as Song and no definitive connection was established.

The case remains unsolved and her whereabouts are unknown. If anyone knew Cindy’s habits that night, saw her after she left the apartment, or has information that could help, please come forward.
