TROY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – The Troy Police Department is looking for help solving a 28-year-old unsolved murder case.
Mei-Ling White, 9, was reported missing on July 21, 1989 and was found dead in a wooded area near her home at the Phelan Court Apartments four days later.
Her body showed evidence of having been sexually assaulted, and she died of asphyxia.
“This is someone’s life, and we care about it, and here we are still giving it as much effort as we can give it,” Troy Police Capt. Dan DeWolf said.
Police say on the morning of Mei-Ling’s disappearance, an eyewitness says he saw her with two other children at the foot of Thompson Street near Winslow Avenue. The two children were reported to be about 8 to 10 years old at the time.
The witness told police he saw a third youth, described as being a boy around 15 years old, join Mei-Ling and the two unknown children.
Police say the same witness told them the first two children left and Mei-Ling and the third youth were left alone on Winslow Avenue, not far from where she was found four days later.
In 1989, members of the Troy Police Department made numerous attempts to identify the two unknown children Mei-Ling was originally with. Those two children have not been identified and are still unknown to police.
“We believe that they may have some information that is pertinent to the case and that could help us,” DeWolf said.
Police are urging these two individuals, who are potentially in their late 30s, to come forward and speak with members of the department.
Anyone who was in Mei-Ling’s life at the time of her disappearance is urged to contact police at (518) 270-4657 with any information.
