Donglei Shi was found dead in an Alhambra park nearly two years ago. No witnesses and little evidence were found. Her father, George, has tirelessly pursued his quest and is offering a $200,000 reward.

The rain had washed away his daughter's smile by the time George Shi reached the parking lot.

Gently, he glued a new flier over the old one, smoothing each crease, until her photo and his message again shone clear:

REWARD: $200,000 to anyone who helps find her killer.

It is all Shi can do, nearly two years after his daughter, Donglei Shi, was strangled and her body dumped in an Alhambra park, leaving behind a case with no witnesses and little evidence.

I found this to be a shaking read and interesting in several cultural aspects of the life of a modern Asian-American family. I hope they eventually charge the suspects with murder so this poor man can have some relief; even though I doubt he will ever come to accept.
