The Girl in the Flowered Blanket: A 14-Year Cold Case

For 14 years, the disappearance of a young Vietnamese woman named Nguyen Thi Hien was a painful mystery blamed on theft and betrayal. But when construction workers unearth a skeleton wrapped in a distinctive flowered blanket, a dark secret, buried for over a decade, finally comes to light.
This week on The East Files, Julian takes you to Vietnam to unravel a chilling cold case where justice took a supernatural turn. Discover how a killer, Ngo Xuan Thuan, was tormented by his own conscience, sending his mother to a pagoda to pray for the very woman he murdered. Follow the trail of clues—from a worker's strange premonition to a monk's long-held memory—that led investigators to the truth.
This is a story about the psychological price of murder and a haunting that wouldn't end, long after the statute of limitations had expired. Is a guilty conscience the ultimate prison?
