Story

In Marin County, California, the body of a young woman was found near the San Pablo Bay on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2024. The Marin County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the remains belonged to 18-year-old Mai Sai Vue from Sacramento, who had been missing since Halloween. Vue was last seen on October 31, after attending a concert in San Francisco and was reported to have vanished near the intersection of Grove and Larkin streets around 11 p.m. shortly after the concert. Due to extended exposure to the elements, identifying Vue took longer than usual, which involved a forensic examination that included routine toxicology tests. At present, the investigation has not revealed any evidence of foul play surrounding her death, yet the cause is still under investigation by detectives from the San Francisco Police Department and the Marin County Sheriff's Office Coroner Division. The priority right now lies in understanding the circumstances that led to her being found many miles from where she was last seen. Authorities emphasize empathy and condolences towards the family and friends of Vue during this heartbreaking time. The Marin County Sheriff's Office's discovery of the remains was a significant yet tragic breakthrough in the search efforts that spanned weeks. Vue's family, who had endured uncertainty and worry, are now grappling with grief in the aftermath of the shocking discovery. Investigators continue to explore the timeline of events from Halloween night to Thanksgiving to find answers. They are particularly focused on how Vue ended up near the bay. The community is also encouraged to assist law enforcement by sharing any information related to Vue's disappearance to piece together the events surrounding her case. An ongoing investigation underscores the importance of raising awareness about missing persons and ensuring their safety, so families do not have to endure the anguish that Vue's loved ones are experiencing.
