Ms. Duong said that she was on her way from the old Long An (now in Tay Ninh province) back to Ho Chi Minh City to pick up her child. The authorities here have confirmed that the person who was just found was Trang. Thank you everyone for your help. I am truly grateful to have finally found my child, Ms. Duong emotionally expressed.
According to Ms. Duong, after searching and verifying herself, she discovered that her daughter was being transported by a motorbike taxi driver from Ho Chi Minh City to the area of Long An province (old). However, when she arrived, it was known that Trang had returned to Ho Chi Minh City.
She said that after finding the driver's phone number, she called and sent Trang a photo to verify. He looked at the photo and confirmed that it was definitely my child. After that, Ms. Duong reported to the police and received active support during the search.
Previously, while searching for a child, Ms. Duong also received an important clue from a woman working at Nga Tu Ga Bus Station (National Highway 1A, Ho Chi Minh City). On the morning of July 25, this woman said she saw a girl speaking in a Northern tone, claiming to have just entered from Hanoi and asked to go to the toilet at the wharf.
The child then expressed his desire to go to Long An (old), but the bus companies refused to take him because he had no guardian. The child also did not agree to take the bus but decided to rent a motorbike taxi with the reason "to have a family to pick him up in Long An".
The camera image at the bus station was not clearly recorded, but Mr. Tong - the driver who once drove Trang - confirmed that the person in the video was the child. He said that because the child had no money, he gave him 100,000 VND to rent a motorbike taxi.
The motorbike taxi driver - the last person to carry Trang - said that when he arrived at the meeting place in Long An, a man and a woman were waiting to pick her up. This detail has caused many questions about the purpose and motivation of those involved in the child's journey.
As reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, Nguyen Kieu Trang (13 years old), residing in lane 245 Lac Long Quan, Tay Ho ward, Hanoi, left home at around 8:15 p.m. on July 23. According to information from the family, the child took a bus from the Tr.A bus company to Ha Tinh, then continued to be taken to Ho Chi Minh City by another bus company ( controlled by Mr. Tong).
