Posted on by

West Springfield Police District – Detectives from our Major Crimes and Cyber and Forensics Bureau have developed a person of interest in the ongoing investigation of the disappearance of Emily Lu. Ms. Lu was last seen around 7:52 p.m. on Jun. 3 at the Aldi at 1329 Gordon Plaza in Woodbridge. Officers began investigating her disappearance after Ms. Lu did not show up to work on June 4. Her car was found parked in her driveway at her home in the 9200 block of Davis Drive in Lorton. During the early stages of the investigation, detectives suspected foul play in her disappearance. Since she was reported missing, detectives have coordinated multiple ground and air searches surrounding her home and areas they believe Ms. Lu may be. Efforts to find Ms. Lu have been extensive, thorough and ongoing. Based on the evidence found at her home and the change in Ms. Lu’s lifestyle, detectives believe that foul play led to Ms. Lu’s disappearance. Today, detectives are announcing they are actively investigating a person of interest who they believe is involved in Ms. Lu’s disappearance and renew their call for the public’s help in locating her.
