During the search, at noon on November 14, people found Ms. Phuc’s bicycle while herding buffalo, brought home by a man who went fishing in a neighboring village “because he saw the bike left in the middle of the field”. Then, they discovered another shirt that Ms. Phuc wore while herding buffalo in a bush about 20m from the bank of Bau U.

After nearly 2 days of coordination between Dai Son commune police, family, relatives and neighbors searching all over the fields, mountains, lakes... the victim still has not been found.

The victim’s family was extremely confused and worried about their daughter’s mysterious disappearance. It is known that Ms. Phuc is the youngest of five siblings.

Until now, she has been a healthy person and is preparing to get married to a boy in the village.
