The Trail Went Cold - Episode 163 - Su-Ya Kim & Quin-Rong Wu
June 29, 1991. New York City. Su-Ya Kim leaves her children with their grandmother to go shopping, but never returns. Ten hours later, Su-Ya’s nude body is discovered in a dumpster after she has been stabbed nine times. A security guard reports interacting with an unidentified white male who drove away from the dumpster before the body’s discovery, but even though his vehicle’s licence number is checked, the lead goes nowhere and Su-Ya’s killer is never found.
May 13, 1997. New York City. 11-year old Quin-Rong Wu is walked partway to school by her mother, but after they go their separate ways, Quin-Rong disappears. Two weeks later, Quin-Rong’s body is discovered in the East River and it turns out she has been strangled to death. While a witness reports seeing Quin-Rong on the subway with a middle-aged white male on the day she went missing, police start directing suspicion towards her parents. Was Quin-Rong abducted and murdered by a predator? Or could her own family have been involved in what happened?
On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we cover two separate unsolved cold cases involving female victims who emigrated from Asia to New York before they were brutally murdered.

Though tommy sells around the time of quin rong kidnapping and murder he had just finished a four year sentence in a prison facility! He was released shortly around the first part of May of 97 before the quin rong wu murder.

So I believe the man that was seen on that train with quin rong could have been tommy Lynn sells! Given as well that he killed coast to coast using transportation such as hitchhiking, stolen cars, buses, and trains to hunt for his victims.

The quin rong wu case the police drawing of her kidnapper and killer fits the full breaded coast to coast serial killer tommy Lynn sells perfectly! The crime itself the mo fits sells as most of his killings are motivated by a dark sinister evil desire as he targeted young women and children quin age plus sexually assault them before he killed them and one of his mo besides using a knife was manual strangulation.

And given that she was found nude with no signs of rape because again it was attempted rape, and given that she was a faithful and devoted wife she fought hard from being violated by another man so therefore it angered her killer as the reason he put nine stab wounds in her .. this was not a random act of violence but however the su-ya kim murder was definitely a crime of opportunity given the condition that su-ya unwillingly put herself in by which a serial killer capitalized off it quickly.

What it’s facts is that on her route towards shopping that night she was not picked up by anyone that she was having a affair with as she was a very faithful and devoted wife and husband so there’s no way that she was picked up, its only two things that could have happened su ya was abducted before she got in her or, or she could have been attacked on her way home from shopping and the reason that she was found nude is for the fact that it was attempted rape..

Plus sells no he killed most of his victims by multiple stab wounds plus he fits the police drawing of su-ya kim killer, I say that it’s without a doubt a strong possibility that the three men I mentioned could have been the killer of su-ya kim.

Rifkin lived close to that dump site of su-ya kim so I say it’s possible. If he didn’t commit the murder of su-ya kim then it leads to one man who fits the whole profile of su ya kim killer from the police drawing down the whole mo and that killer was coast to coast killer tommy Lynn sells! Sells in 91 was 27 years old white man with glasses who stood between 5”8 to 5”9 inches tall between 160 to 180 pounds plus sells killed in the state of New York.

However if he didn’t commit the murder of su ya kim then there’s only two remaining serial killers who was active around the time of su- ya kim murder and that was infamous New York serial killer joey rifkin who tho do not fit the mo of the killer of su-ya kim he however as well fits the police drawing plus tho the killer drove a Nissan rifkin drove a car in 91 that looked relatively similar to the Nissan that’s was confusing to mistaken the two and that was a Toyota!

I believe the possibilities are high regarding linking rex heuermann to the su ya kim murder as it’s to many links between him and the crime to just discount any of them.

The only thing that would not state beyond certainty that he could have been su-ya killer are the height requirements as he don’t fit the witness joe Jones height description of the killer however Jones could have made a error in the height of the man he seen at that dumpster given that he was dark out around the time that he stumbled across this suspicious looking man around the same dumpster where su-ya kim body would be later found.
