Tuesday, May 27, 1994, is just two days after Jenny Lin\u2019s 14th birthday. She comes home from school to an empty house in Castro Valley, California. Like a lot of kids, both of her parents work, and Jenny is expected to get her chores and homework done before they get home. But also, like a lot of kids, especially a lot of teenagers, Jenny decides that before she gets to work on those tasks, she will talk to some friends on the phone. Jenny\u2019s last call ends just after 5 pm. About 30 minutes later, her father, John Lin, calls home to check on her, but there\u2019s no answer. He doesn\u2019t immediately panic; Jenny is a very responsible kid, and she\u2019s used to this routine. She\u2019s probably just doing something and didn\u2019t hear the phone.\n\xa0\nAround 7 pm, John walks into a quiet house. He doesn\u2019t see Jenny anywhere. But it\u2019s clear that Jenny had been there. The back door is unlocked, the TV is on, and Jenny\u2019s microwave dinner is sitting on the kitchen counter. After John doesn\u2019t see Jenny on the first floor of the house, he then walks upstairs and notices that the bathroom door in his room is closed.\n\xa0\nWhen he opens the door, the scene John walks into is inconceivable. Jenny is lying face down, covered in blood. Nearly 30 years later, the case is still unsolved, and the Lin family and investigators struggle to make sense of why Jenny was targeted.\n\xa0\nIf you have any information about her case, please contact the Alameda County Sheriff\u2019s Office at 510-667-3636.\n\nFor more information about the Jenny Lin foundation, visit https://jennylinfoundation.org/\n\nThank you to our sponsor ZocDoc.\nGo to Zocdoc.com/Justice and download the Zocdoc app for free.
