Pertinent excerts from WP article:
Chiang waged a public campaign in 1999 to pressure D.C. police to fully investigate the death of his sister, Joyce Chiang, a government immigration lawyer. Joyce Chiang, 28, disappeared in January 1999 after being dropped off by a friend in Dupont Circle. Her body was found nearly three months later, washed up on the Potomac riverbank in Fairfax County. The body was too decomposed to determine the cause of death, officials said.
Investigators have raised the possibility that Joyce Chiang committed suicide, a theory that Roger Chiang has publicly rejected.
