A woman who had been missing for nearly three decades was found buried in a flowerbed on the rooftop of a shopping mall in Sichuan, China, according to reports from local authorities and media outlets.
The skeletal remains of Wu Yanping were discovered during renovation work at the mall, with police confirming she had been missing since 1997 after leaving her wool sweater shop following a meal with her son in February of that year.
Investigators said Wu, a single mother and well-known clothing merchant in the 1990s, had gone to meet someone to settle a debt before her disappearance, a detail provided by her former shop assistant who recalled her stating she would return soon but never did.
