| MISSING Jimmy Tsui |
On August 26, 1998, Yim Yeung Tsui (“Jimmy”), 19, disappeared under unknown circumstances. Tsui, a student at Stony Brook University, had been summering with is family in New Hyde Park, New York. On the morning of his disappearance, his older sister, Victoria, stopped by his room as she left for work at 8:30 a.m. Yim's bedroom door was open, and he was sound asleep in his bed. Nothing seemed unusual. It was the last sighting of Yim Tsui.
About Yim Yeung Tsui
Yim and his family emigrated to the United States in 1988 from south China. Victoria Tsui told Newsday.com that her brother had some trouble adjusting to the change, but he picked up English pretty quickly. He attended elementary school at Hillside Grade School and graduated from New Hyde Park Memorial High School.

Relatives say that Tsui often came home to sleep and was not the type to run away or to get into trouble. He was an introvert with a few friends and, to their knowledge, he did not have a girlfriend.
In May 2011, the remains of "John Doe #8, an Asian male in his late teens or early 20s was found along Ocean Parkway in Long Island, NY. Investigators are looking into the possibility that the remains could belong to Tsui, although they have noted differences between the two physical descriptions. A DNA sample was compared to one of Tsui's sisters, and Suffolk forensic experts later concluded that the remains did not belong to Yim Yeung Tsui.
Yim Tsui's name and photos are listed in national missing persons databases, but that has not yielded any results. His family remains hopeful that Tsui will return or that they will someday find answers.

Not to take away from this case, but here is a rare female mysterious drowning death:

Her name is Sarah Townsend and her body was found in a pond after being reported missing, no signs of foul play. Her car was found nearby. She was reportedly in a happy mood and was preparing to attend the Prom.
I had no idea all these bodies were found in NY and 4 were thought to be related. I am curious how they are thought to be related, drinking or foul play?
My sympathy goes out to Yim's family.
Monique,
Authorities have been investigating the possibility that multiple killers (or even multiple serial killers), have been using the area.
The remains of four missing women found wrapped in burlap have now been identified. All were in their 20s and advertised escort services on Craigslist. They were found in thick brush along a mile strech between Gilgo Beach and Oak Beach, but closer to Oak Beach. The sister of one of the victims reportedly received a disturbing phone call from the killer.
A second group of four bodies was found closer to Gilgo Beach, a half a mile away. One woman has been identified and was known to be working as a prostitute. Her body had been dismembered. Her death is not thought to be related to the Craigslist deaths. But NY has two unsolved dismemberment cases on the books, which raises the question of a second serial killer using the area. Found in close proximity to her body were the remains of a woman and child (still unidentified) and an Asian man in his 20s, John Doe #8, which could be Yim Yeung Tsui. These cases are now not thought to be related to other four. I believe it is not yet known whether these were the work of the same killer or separate killers.
I just wanted to add that with regard to the serial killers in question, it is believed by many that the guilty are indeed police officers or have a background in law enforcement. It has been reported that there were two suspects, both have a history as police officers, though the police later denied they were suspects. The thing is that one of the man was the last person to have spoken to at least one of the victims. He had spoken to her over the phone. So in my opinion, the police claiming those two men aren't suspects is either due to them not wanting to release any info until the investigation is complete or they are covering it up.
What happened to this blog??
@tft2003,
I'm not sure what you mean. The post on Yim Tsui has been updated recently, but everything is still here. If you're referring to the blog itself, it is still active, but there hasn't been much to report on of late (thank goodness!).
