Ep5: The Nguyen Family ~ Stephanie Van, Kristina, & John

DISAPPEARANCE:  The Nguyen family was last seen on April 19 2002, the day after they left home, when a police officer stopped Stephanie in her car, a green 1997 Nissan Pathfinder with the Ohio license plate number ADH7739, near a boat ramp to the Ohio River. He stopped her for failing to dim her headlights. The officer noticed two children, presumably Kristina and John, asleep in the backseat of the vehicle.

Stephanie, Kristina, and John were never seen again.....until 20 years later.

This story hits on May Mental Awareness & Asian American, Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
