On April 14 1997, Taiwanese star Pai Bingbing’s daughter, Pai Hsiao Yen, was abducted on her way to school. After Bingbing went to the police, the case was leaked to the press, sparking a huge uproar and manhunt. Unfortunately, attempts to negotiate with the kidnappers eventually broke down, and the body of Hsiao Yen was found in a ditch less two weeks later on April 28.
