Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP42378) and 3 other sources
Amnoun Sayphanya, 60, was last seen in Houston, Texas, in November 2014, though the exact date of her disappearance is unclear due to a delay in reporting. Family members hadn't heard from her for years, and her case only came to the attention of authorities in 2017. Sayphanya had been living with her son, Donny Soundara Daosavanh, at the time of her disappearance.

In 2024, after years of investigation, Daosavanh was charged with her murder. He allegedly confessed to multiple people, stating that he had killed his mother, keeping her body in a bathtub for days before burying it. Despite his confession, Sayphanya’s body has not been found, and authorities continue to search for her remains. Daosavanh, who has a criminal history, including a 2010 conviction for assaulting a family member, is now awaiting trial for the murder of his mother. The case remains ongoing, with law enforcement actively seeking any additional information that could help locate her body.

If anyone has relevant information, they are encouraged to contact Houston authorities.
