Yu Ting Lin was 16 when she left her Elmhurst, Queens home on the morning of July 15, 2019, to attend summer school at the Brooklyn High School for Law and Technology. She is five feet, eight inches tall with black hair. After leaving at about 7:30 AM, her day appeared ordinary until an evening phone call at roughly 7:00 PM, when she reportedly told a witness she was at home. By 2:30 AM on July 16 her family reported her missing to the NYPD.

The NYPD Missing Persons Squad searched her residence and canvassed the neighborhood but found no leads. The contrast between the 7:00 PM call and her later absence remains a key unresolved detail in the timeline. If anyone saw Yu Ting on July 15 or has information about her whereabouts that evening, please share what is known with investigators.
