NY NY - JuanJuan Zwang, 44 & Peishuan Fan, 48, couple from Old Brookville, mysterious disappearance, no contact with children since 30 Mar 2025

Disappeared by "Skynet"?

There might a reason for the couple to disappear while the children were out of town .. to save them from what they knew was coming.. ?

That article is so scary. It could definitely be a consideration for why the couple is missing.

''Investigators have not ruled out any explanations, including whether the couple–who have sons ages 12 and 20–were abducted or left for political reasons, police told CBS New York.

Fan is 5-foot-2 and 135 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. Zwang is 5-feet tall and 130 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.

Clothing descriptions and possible destinations were not given.

Anyone with information in the case is asked to contact the Nassau County Missing Persons Squad at 516-573-7347 or call 911.''

That article is so scary. It could definitely be a consideration for why the couple is missing.

What we are speculating is more or less consistent with what police was saying from the start, that they might be abducted or left for political reasons.

I just wonder what evidence have been uncovered so far, it has been a while.

I haven’t been able to find any updates on this case. Has anyone else seen any updates?

“The FBI has joined the probe into the disappearance of an Asian couple last seen on March 30 at their Old Brookville mansion, legal and law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation said.”

“
John Carman, an attorney who is representing the couple's 20-year-old child, said the FBI has gathered information about the disappearance.

“Peishuan Fan was said to have a construction business in China, south of the major city of Shanghai, Carman said.”

“Carman said that family members had come to the home to look after the children. The lawyer also said child protective service officials had been making periodic checks of the children.”

This is sure a weird one. First thing I thought of was The Americans, as well.

 

[cenazoic]

I love the Americans, but the whole show was premised on the idea that they seemed like regular native-born Americans, which isn’t the case here.

That said, just buying real estate doesn’t lead to mysterious disappearances. Money laundering? Or, as @Via Marple ’s article suggests, state-sponsored kidnapping of political dissidents.

The reason I asked where the vid came from is I was wondering if it was a realtor listing?

To me it shows like an Airbnb, VRBO. It has that too perfect unlived in look.

This is very disturbing to me. There's no way a house that big doesn't have security cameras all over.

In short, the sn’s lawyer states what happened remains a mistery

They had a "normal dinner" with their sons, a 12-year-old and a 20-year-old university student, and some of the younger child’s friends on March 30, said an attorney representing the older child, Yiwei Fan.

The next morning, the two brothers and the older brother’s girlfriend drove to the Catskills for an overnight stay. They left their Old Brookville house without seeing their parents, which was common in a home of more than 6,000 square feet, Carman said.

The couple was reported missing later that night, police said.

So, this latest information also seems weird to me. I live in a house that is larger than 6000 square feet, and I would definitely see my children and say goodbye. Seriously, a 12-year-old leaving for an overnight stay and not saying goodbye to their parents? I have young adult children living at home and they always tell me goodbye. Plus, I give them the usual lecture of drive safely, text me when you get there, etc.

The woman was last seen at 10:30 pm and her husband at 10:31 pm. Typo or fact? Extremely precise, seen by whom ? from security cam ? She went 1 minute before ?

She may have just walked in at 1030 and 50 seconds. I think the only real deduction to make here ,is she went in front of him . Where ever that is.

 

[Soulmagent]

The thought has crossed my mind as well because there is absolutely no information about this couple or even a hint of what might've happened to them. (The Americans is fantastic!) I'm not one to jump to such dramatic conclusions, but so far we've not been given anything to go off of, which does cause one to wonder.

The missing poster looks like AI..IMO

This is very disturbing to me. There's no way a house that big doesn't have security cameras all over.

It actually does not shock me to believe they did not. I do not know for sure.

My dad referred to the government as "the man" .
Really did a number on my trust issues.
