Summary

What happened, as the record shows.

Khoi Dang Vu, 25, deaf from birth, nonverbal, with an intellectual disability, vanished from his family's home in the Orchards area of Clark County in the early hours of April 7, 2007, leaving without his jacket or bicycle. Within weeks the case was reclassified as criminal; by 2008 investigators believed he was a homicide victim whose remains may have been discarded in a dumpster and taken to a landfill near Boardman, Oregon. No person has been arrested or publicly identified as responsible.
