Meihong He, a 39-year-old Asian woman, was last known to have contact with family on May 25, 2024, while she was associated with Glenwood, Washington, in Klickitat County. Public missing-person records described her as a woman with black hair and black eyes, about 5 feet to 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighing approximately 110 to 120 pounds. She lived primarily in Butte, Montana, but was known to travel and had been staying with her fiancé in Glenwood around the time she disappeared.
The case began with a painful silence: Meihong had spoken with her sister by phone on May 25, and after that conversation her sister did not hear from her again.
According to the public case information, Meihong’s fiancé reported that he had dropped her off so she could go fishing with friends from Seattle near Underwood, Washington, along the side of Highway 14. That account placed her in the Columbia River Gorge region, away from her main home in Montana and in an area where small communities, highways, river access points, and state lines sit close together. The details released publicly were limited, but the core concern was clear: after the reported drop-off and her final phone call with her sister, Meihong did not return, did not make contact, and was not seen by those closest to her. Her disappearance was entered into NamUs as Missing Person case MP130714, and the Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office was listed as the investigating agency.
As the months passed, the case remained unresolved, with Meihong’s family left without answers about where she had gone or what had happened after May 25, 2024. Public records noted that she was originally from China and that she was known to some as “Kiki.” The uncertainty surrounding her last known movements gave the case a broad geographic reach: she had ties to Montana, was last associated with Washington, and the reported circumstances placed her near a major river corridor and highway route between communities in Washington and Oregon. In missing-person investigations, those early details often become the framework investigators and loved ones return to again and again, searching for any person who may have seen something, remembered a vehicle, noticed a conversation, or crossed paths with the missing person in the right place at the right time.
Official reports later indicated that Meihong was located deceased. The Dalles Police Department reported that human remains were discovered inside a storage box in a storage unit on West Sixth Street in The Dalles, Oregon, after officers responded to a report of suspicious circumstances. The Oregon State Police Crime Lab assisted, and the remains were taken to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy and identification. Authorities later confirmed the remains were those of Meihong He, also known as Kiki, and reported that her next of kin had been notified. While the date the remains were discovered has been publicly reported, the exact date of Meihong’s death has not been clearly established in the available official public reporting.
The investigation expanded beyond a single missing-person inquiry after Meihong was identified. The Mid-Columbia Major Crimes Team became involved, and authorities described follow-up work across multiple states, including Oregon, Washington, Utah, Nevada, California, and Colorado. A 59-year-old man from The Dalles, Richard Michael Robinson, was identified by authorities as a person of interest; reports stated that he had spent time in Klickitat County, Washington, where Meihong had last been seen. He was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Colorado on a warrant related to failure to register as a sex offender, while the investigation into Meihong’s death remained active and separate public reporting continued to describe him as a person of interest rather than as someone convicted in connection with her death.
Meihong He’s case began as the disappearance of a 39-year-old woman last connected to Glenwood, Washington, after a final phone call with her sister and a reported plan to go fishing near Underwood along Highway 14. It later became a death investigation after her remains were found in a storage unit in The Dalles and identified by authorities. At its heart, the case is the story of a woman far from her primary home in Butte, Montana, whose family lost contact with her suddenly and then endured a long period without answers before learning she had been found deceased. The available public record shows a case that crossed community and state lines, involved multiple law enforcement agencies, and remains defined by the unanswered question of what happened to Meihong after she was last seen on May 25, 2024.Last Seen: May 25, 2024
