On July 2, 2014, in Athens, Alabama, 73-year-old May Chao-Mei Hu was found dead in the home she shared with her son after a UPS delivery person noticed a note on the front door and alerted authorities. Inside, police discovered the bodies of May and her 39-year-old son, Robin Shen Hu. A note at the scene led investigators to conclude the deaths resulted from a joint decision by mother and son to end their lives together rather than from an external attack.

The note’s contents included a request that their cremated ashes be mixed with those of a beloved deceased cat, a detail that investigators took as further evidence the deaths were planned. There were no arrests and no outside suspects named. If anyone knew May or the circumstances she and her son faced in Athens, or has information that could shed light on what led to their deaths, please come forward.
