I have the impression that she fell into foul play maybe because she owed money or some admirer or harassing co-worker and was probably murdered but I don't think she returned to Taiwan after 25 years without anyone knowing friends, family or co-workers..
rest in peace

Catherine Chiang used to live in the same neighborhood I used to live in (Pelham Bay) during childhood. That certain strip of the neighborhood is known for robberies and mugging, at least now, and it caused the local Walgreens to close down because of it. And also, since it was in the 1990s, Pelham Bay was not very pretty back then. There's a slim chance that she's even alive because of how much time has passed.
