Asian Pacific American Heritage Month: Xu Wang

In honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, I am profiling one Asian or Pacific Islander MP for every day of the month of May. Today’s case is Xu Wang, also known as Sue, a 39-year-old woman who disappeared from Darien, Illinois on August 10, 1999. At the time of her disappearance, she was a doctor at a hospital in Aurora, Illinois. She was last seen leaving for work.

Her car was found only hours later, in a forest preserve. Later, her pager was found alongside the road, but I don’t know if the location was on her route or not.

The police have indicated that Wang’s husband is suspect in her disappearance, which is often the case. However, he’s got Parkinson’s Disease and I don’t know if he would have been physically capable of killing her and getting rid of her body.

This summer, she will have been missing for twenty years.
