Her brother, Huong Lee, told KTVU Wednesday that his youngest sister was upset after arguing with one of her six siblings.
“She had a little argument with older sister and went out to cool off,” he said. “It was no big argument…just talking on the phone.”
Huong Lee told KTVU that when his sister has gotten upset in the past, she has always gone to one of two places – 24/7 Fitness or Barnes And Noble – to calm down.
When she had not returned home by midnight, he said, the family became concerned.
“We waited and waited until 3 a.m.,” he said. “My dad and mom were really worried.”
So Huong went out to search for his sister and discovered her abandoned car in the Barnes And Noble parking lot in Fairfield.
“I went to the gym first and couldn’t find her,” he told KTVU. “I went to Barnes and Noble and found her car. All the doors were locked…Her backpack was in the trunk.”
Huong’s concern heightened when he looked inside the backpack.
“All her belongings were in there, even her cell phone,’ he said.
Huong noticed the last call made on the cell was to a family friend and his sister’s former boss.
“I called him the next day he said he talked with around 6 p.m. (Sunday),” Huong said. “She was upset and told him about the argument… He said she was upset over a lot of things…But he didn’t know where she was.”
Huong told KTVU police had joined the search for his sister and had showed him snapshots of six men, asking if he knew any of them.
“
I recognized one of them, it was my sister’s former boss,” he said. “They didn’t tell me why they showed me the pictures… It really freaked me out when I saw those six pictures.”

Am I correct in my thinking this is Phuong's former boss? If she's calling him because she's upset then she must be pretty close to him. Something is pulling me to him and I think he knows something. I would bet money he went to the B&N after she called him. The B&N person didn't say she was with anyone but that may be something LE is holding back as of right now. He could have also been waiting in the lot by her car for her to come out.
I really hope they find her safe!
