Information About

Joyce Chiang




On the day of Chiang's disappearance, she had met with several friends for a movie and dinner, and one of those friends offered Joyce a ride home. Joyce asked her friend to make one quick stop at the Starbucks at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue NW and R Street NW, which was later also frequented by Chandra Levy. Joyce told her friend that she would walk the four blocks home from the coffee shop, but she never made it to her apartment. Because Joyce was a federal employee, the FBI took the lead in the case, but their initial investigation turned up nothing.

A couple walking through Anacostia Park later found Chiang's billfold, and a canoeist came across her body several months later.


CONDIT / LEVY CONNECTION

Chiang had previously been a legislative aide in the office of Congressman Howard Berman , while attending evening class at the Georgetown University Law Center . Chiang had lived four blocks away from where Levy would live, in Dupont Circle . Both were attractive, young, brunette women of petite stature and "ethnic" appearance. These similarities have led to various theories that both women were killed by the same person.

Much of the resurgence of interest in the Joyce Chiang case was spearheaded by her brother, former Democratic political operative Roger Chiang , who was instrumental in several televised and print appeals for more information on her case and disappearance. Roger Chiang would later blame the stress of his sister's death, along with his resulting anti-depressant use, for his admitted Embezzlement of over $360,000 from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee .
