Police are asking the public's help to find a missing woman who hasn't been seen by loved ones last weekend.

Renton Police say Kathy M. Chou, 19, was last seen at about 7 p.m. Sunday and last heard from at about 9:30 p.m. the same day. She was last known to be in the area of South Renton or Southcenter.

Friends and family say it's extremely unlike Kathy to be out of contact for this long. She is a high school senior and has no history of running away or missing school. - snipped

Police Say Renton Woman’s Disappearance Suspicious
Posted: 3:57 pm PDT April 22, 2010
Updated: 4:54 pm PDT April 27, 2010

Chou’s friend, Whitney Rose, told KIRO 7 that Chou had just returned from a high school journalism convention in Portland and had said she wanted to hang out with her.

Rose said Chou wanted to go to Southcenter, but none of her friends could go with her.

She said she worries that Chou headed out alone and possibly met a man she talked to on the Internet; something Rose said she's done before.

"Like every teenager, she wants to be in love more than anything and she's got that mentality. She'll do anything to get it," Rose said.

Family and friends have been posting fliers in the Renton area.
“I just have a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach," Rose said.

Chou is an Asian woman, about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, 180 pounds, black hair with blonde streaks and blue-colored bangs. She has a piercing in her bottom lip on the right side. She usually wears a pair of pink hyphen rimmed glasses and was last seen wearing blue jeans and a horizontally striped, multicolored shirt. - snipped

Body Found In Cedar River Near Renton
August 15, 2010


Police say the body has been in the water for a long time and is badly decomposed. That has made it impossible to figure out the age, sex or race of the person.

The unidentified remains were found about a mile upstream from the I-405 overpass and later released to the King County Medical Examiner for further investigation.

MISSING TEEN: It's Been One Year Since Kathy Chou Disappeared

Mystery still swirls around her disappearance - and her love for social cyberspace.

It's a parents worst nightmare: Your teen daughter - a social butterfly who loves to use websites like Facebook and MySpace to keep in touch with friends - now missing.

A year later, those friends still hope she simply ran away, but gut feelings have them fearing the worst, and still no one - friends, family, or police - have much of anything to go on.
