Yiwen Wang, also known by the nickname Daisy, was 44 years old when she was last seen in North Plainfield, New Jersey, on October 22, 2013. She was an Asian woman with black hair and brown eyes, described as 5 feet tall and approximately 125 to 140 pounds. Online missing-person records identify her as a Chinese national and a resident of China who had relatives in New Jersey, placing her far from her usual home when she disappeared. Her case was classified as endangered missing, a designation that reflects particular concern for her safety and well-being.
The concern in Yiwen’s case was heightened by her medical condition. Public case information states that she suffered from schizophrenia, needed medication, did not have that medication with her, and might not have been able to remember her own identity. Those details make her disappearance especially vulnerable and heartbreaking: this was not only a report of a woman who could not be located, but of someone who may have been confused, frightened, medically at risk, and unable to clearly communicate who she was or where she belonged. Her loved ones in New Jersey and in China were left with the painful uncertainty of not knowing whether she had wandered, sought help, encountered someone, or become lost somewhere unfamiliar.
The publicly available timeline is brief. Yiwen was last seen in North Plainfield on October 22, 2013, and after that she was never heard from again. The available online case summary does not describe what she was wearing, exactly where in North Plainfield she was last observed, who last saw her, whether she was traveling on foot, or what immediate search steps were taken in the first hours and days after she vanished. Instead, the record is marked by a painful lack of detail, noting only that she had relatives in New Jersey, that she disappeared from North Plainfield, and that few details are available. That absence of information has left her case dependent on public awareness, memory, and the possibility that someone may still know something that could help explain what happened.
Yiwen’s case has been listed in online missing-person resources, including The Charley Project, which identifies NamUs as source information for the case, and New Jersey State Police missing-person search results have also listed a missing-person detail page associated with her record. The Charley Project lists the North Plainfield Police Department and Human Services Police as investigating agencies, while New Jersey State Police missing-person materials direct anyone with tips or information about missing persons in New Jersey to contact the State Police Missing Persons Unit.
The case of Yiwen Wang remains a sparse but deeply concerning missing-person story: a 44-year-old woman from China, known as Daisy, was in New Jersey near relatives when she was last seen in North Plainfield on October 22, 2013; she was medically vulnerable, reportedly without needed medication, and may have been unable to identify herself; then she disappeared and was not heard from again. With so few public details available, the heart of the case is the uncertainty left behind for those who cared about her and the continued importance of recognizing her as a person whose life, safety, and whereabouts mattered.
