Fairfax County Police 'Dedicated' To Finding Missing Lorton Woman

LORTON, VA — The Fairfax County Police Department said Tuesday it remains dedicated to finding a 72-year-old Lorton resident who disappeared more than a month ago.

The police department once again asked for the public’s help in finding Emily Lu, who was last seen on June 3.

“A team of detectives from our Major Crimes and Cyber and Forensics Bureau continue to comb through evidence, conduct interviews and follow up on leads,” the Fairfax County police said in a Facebook post Tuesday. “Detectives remain dedicated to this case and are working diligently to find Ms. Lu.”

Lu was last seen at a grocery store in Woodbridge around 7:50 p.m. on June 3. She arrived home from the grocery store but did not bring inside all of her groceries, according to the Fairfax County Police Department.

The police department said last month that they had uncovered evidence suggesting Lu may have been harmed inside her home. At a news conference on June 15, Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said the department's homicide unit was investigating Lu's disappearance. He noted that detectives did not find evidence of forced entry at her home.

"She's the kindest, most generous woman who would do anything to help others," Jenny Ball, Lu's daughter, told NBC News. "All I ask is to please come forward if you know anything. Do the right thing and reach out. Say something."

A $20,000 reward is being offered through Crime Solvers for information related to Lu’s disappearance.
