The Disappearance of Joyce Chang
Joyce Chang, a 28-year-old political intern, went missing on January 9, 1999, after an evening out in Washington, D.C. She was dropped off near her apartment but never returned home. Her brother Roger became concerned when she didn’t show up for work the following Monday, leading him to report her missing to the FBI due to her status as a federal employee. The authorities began piecing together her last known movements, starting with her social activities that day, which included meeting friends and getting a ride back to DuPont Circle, where she was last seen.
