The missing person is Liu Ngoc Hang, 22 years old, a 4th year student of the 47th course, majoring in accounting at Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics, residing at the dormitory at 135 Tran Hung Dao (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City).

According to Tuoi Tre Online , this female student returned to Vietnam on a flight from Guangzhou (China), transited in Hong Kong and then arrived at Tan Son Nhat airport at 10:35 this morning, February 9.

"Hang was picked up at Tan Son Nhat airport by her mother and some relatives. Hang returned safely to her family and is in a period of mental stability, so she currently does not want to contact anyone," the source said.

According to a source from the University of Economics, Ho Chi Minh City, on the morning of February 4 (the 7th day of the Lunar New Year), student Liu Ngoc Hang's parents came to the dormitory at 135 Tran Hung Dao to report that they had not been able to contact Hang since January 27 (the 28th of the 12th lunar month).

The student manager retrieved data from the management system and informed the family that student Hang had left the dormitory before 5:00 p.m. on December 22, 2024, and the management diary noted that the female student was traveling for 2 weeks, then would return home to celebrate Tet and not visit the dormitory (her roommate reported).

Liu Ngoc Hang is a final year student and is currently doing an internship. Since January 26, her family has been unable to contact her.

The dormitory manager also assisted the Cau Ong Lanh Ward Police (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) to report Hang's disappearance.

After 4:30 p.m. on February 5 (January 8), the dormitory manager worked with the Cau Ong Lanh Ward Police to confirm the above information.

At around 12 noon on February 6 (January 9), the ward police informed the dormitory that there was no need to enter Hang's room to collect information for the investigation because they had determined that the female student had left the country on December 22, 2024, for China. They had transferred the case to the security department for further investigation.

Local authorities confirmed that the female student was on her way home.

As reported by Tuoi Tre Online , on February 3, Mr. Liu Xuong Menh (residing in Group 2, Hamlet 3) went to the Song Nhan Commune Police, Cam My District, Dong Nai , to report that his daughter had been missing for many days.

This afternoon, February 9, speaking with Tuoi Tre Online , Mr. Tran Anh Kiet - Chairman of the People's Committee of Song Nhan Commune - confirmed that the family had picked up Liu Ngoc Hang at Tan Son Nhat Airport, who was on her way back to her hometown. When she returns, the commune police will work, get more specific information and have more information later.
