Girly Chew Hossencofft, a 36-year-old Malaysian-born woman, disappeared from Albuquerque, New Mexico, on September 9, 1999. Girly was in the midst of a tumultuous divorce from her estranged husband, Diazien Hossencofft, who had a history of threats and violence towards her. In the months leading up to her disappearance, Girly expressed concerns to friends and even an FBI agent, fearing for her life due to Diazien’s increasingly bizarre and dangerous behavior.
She had filed for divorce and moved out of their home earlier that year.
On the day after Girly was last seen, her coworkers at the bank where she worked became alarmed when she did not arrive for her shift. This led to police being called, and an investigation was launched. Bloodstains and evidence of a struggle were discovered in her apartment, as well as her blood-stained clothing found along a highway. The investigation soon focused on Diazien and his new girlfriend, Linda Henning. Both were later implicated in Girly's murder, although her body has never been found.
In 2002, Diazien Hossencofft pleaded guilty to his involvement in Girly's death and was sentenced to life in prison. Henning, who had become entangled in Diazien's web of lies, conspiracy theories, and criminal activity, was convicted of murder and received a 73-year sentence. Despite these convictions, many details about Girly’s death remain unclear, and the exact location of her remains is still unknown. This case marked the first time in New Mexico history that a murder conviction was achieved without the victim's body being found.Last Seen: Sep 9, 1999
