Authorities Reopen ‘Most Disturbing Cold Case’ Of 5-Year-Old Found Dead At US Army Base

Police in California are reopening the 40-year-old case of a child found brutally murdered at a former U.S. Army post.
Anne Sang Thi Pham was just 5 years-old when someone abducted her on her way to school, according to the Monterey Herald. On Jan. 21, 1982, the child insisted on walking by herself to her kindergarten class at the nearby Highland School while her mother stayed home. Her family lived only a few blocks away from her elementary school, according to police.
Army investigators found her body in the brush two days later at Fort Ord, a U.S. Army post (which was eventually closed in 1994). She had been assaulted and strangled to death, according to police.
Over the years, many agencies — including the U.S. Army’s Criminal Investigations Division — tried to solve the case, but it eventually went cold, according to the Herald.
But Seaside police are now working with the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office Cold Case Task Force to find answers — four decades later.
