THU "WIKI" PHUNG was a 19 year old cutie with her entire life ahead of her until 9 May 1991.
Wiki lived at home with her parents, who brought her and her other 5 siblings from Saigon, Vietnam to escape the historical Communist takeover; and she was thriving: a loving family, a high school diploma, good friends. Wiki was a Seattle college student with a clerical job at Seattle's downtown Federal Building. She disappeared without a trace while going to and from school, work and home. Due to the timing of her disappearance she was hurriedly grouped into a pool of the many unfortunate missing women who were considered to be victims of the Green River Killer (now known as Gary Ridgeway), or a copycat killer. She neither matched the Ridgeway's victim pool, their circumstances or his well-defined hunting grounds.
Wiki was a devoted, good sister, excited future auntie and daughter. Her family was shattered with no answers: WIKI HAS NOT BEEN FOUND. Police effort, for various reasons, was scant and brief. Her father died with a broken heart and had said he would rather have lived a hard life under Communism than have brought his family to the USA and lose his dear daughter.
