26-Year-Old Cold Case Solved in Taiwan: The Prophetic Dream That Uncovered a Murder

A chilling tale from Taipei unfolds as a mother's desperate search for her missing daughter leads to a shocking discovery, guided by a divine message.

In a case that gripped Taiwan, a young woman vanished in Taipei 26 years ago, only to resurface in a most unexpected way. The tragic story began with the disappearance of a high school student from Taipei. Her mother, frantic with worry, reported her missing, setting off a desperate search.

On June 3, 1999, the missing woman, a high school student, failed to return home. After reporting her missing, her mother sought help from the police. Weeks later, she visited the 北巡宮 (Bei Xun Temple) in search of answers. It was there that the venerated 池府王爺 (Chi Fu Wang Yeh), a deity, communicated through a dream, revealing the young woman’s fate and pinpointing the location of her remains: a specific alley in Taipei's Beitou district.

The mother's desperate search went on for several weeks. In the days following the disappearance, a ransom demand was made, yet no money was ever collected, and the kidnapper was never heard from again.

The revelation from the deity was startling, especially because it matched an address where the temple owner, 丁 (Ding), had previously lived. The location mentioned in the dream was where the body was found.

Further investigation by the police led them to the suspect, a fellow student of the victim. Evidence, including bloodstains on his shoes, confirmed his guilt, and the case was solved, thanks to the divine intervention.

The suspect confessed to the crime but showed no remorse, shifting blame onto the victim. The case's exposure caused public outrage. The court sentenced him to life imprisonment for the murder.
