Family’s heartbreaking story one of many
considered in Hendricks Co. bones case
POSTED 7:15 PM, JULY 23, 2013, REBACHENOWETHFOX59 & JILL GLAVAN, UPDATED 07:23PM, JULY 23, 2013
The discovery of human bones in Hendricks County Monday has led to quite the mystery, pushing the families of some missing persons in the area to speak out.
Hah Soly and Loc Dao have waited 13 years for answers in their son’s case. Mustapha Dao, 18, disappeared in July 2000. Known to everyone as Pha, the teenager was last seen waiting at an Indianapolis gas station for a ride.
“We (are) always looking for him. (He’s) the only son we have,” Loc Dao said.
A metal scrapper found human bones, along with what look to be men’s clothing, inside a large metal well tank on an empty Hendricks County property Monday. Detectives said it appeared to be a full body, sealed inside the tank for a number of years.
Dao’s family said they hoped the bones are not his and that he’s still out there somewhere, but that all they want are answers.
“(It) doesn’t matter what (happened). We always wish he’ll come back soon,” Soly said.
Detectives tell Fox59 they will consider Dao’s case, along with other missing persons across Indiana, when searching for an identity. However, it is expected to take pathologists weeks to even discover gender, approximate age and race.
The Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department is asking for patience in the case, promising to do all it can to identify the remains as soon as possible.
It was in my hometown but I don't remember anything else.

Having a missing loved one shatters a family
Every year, thousands of people in Indiana disappear. Most are found, but the families of those still missing are left frustrated and heartbroken.

<<His childhood bedroom in Brownsburg remains exactly the same as it was when he slept there every night. An old stereo sits in a cabinet. Dao's ID badge from when he worked at Kroger hangs on his desk. Birthday presents wrapped in plaid paper sit on top of a shelf.
Dao's mom, Hah Soly, can't bear to change anything in his room. She still sleeps in his bed, she said, crying herself to sleep every night.>>
