Circumstances of Disappearance

Jie Li was last seen around 4PM, selling Zippy's Chili tickets near the 7-Eleven store on Nu'uanu Avenue, near Kuakini Street. She was selling tickets door-to-door to raise funds for her school, Royal Elementary, to fund a school trip to the Big Island. Over 39,000 man hours were utilized on Jie's case by the Honolulu Police Department during the eight-week period following her disappearance in 1988. Her mother, Li Yan Li, has kept the same phone number in hopes that her daughter will call. Authorities believe that the little girl was kidnapped and suspect foul play in her disappearance.

Jie and her family are originally from China. They moved to Hawaii in 1985, three years before Jie went missing.
