‘Police have Li’s phone records’
Police detectives had already obtained the records from the cellular phone number of missing Saipan Fresh Market owner Zhi Yuan Li, according to Li’s younger brother.
The brother told Saipan Tribune yesterday that although police have yet to recover Li’s cellphone, detectives got the phone records for incoming and outgoing calls.
The records may enable the police to trace the person Li called or the individual who called Li, said the brother, who asked not to be named.
The brother, however, stated that although they still continue to do an islandwide search, he believes that Li is already dead considering it’s already more than a week since his disappearance.
He said their 65-year-old father, who arrived last week from China, may go home after a month.
Li’s eldest daughter appealed yesterday to anyone who has information on her father’s whereabouts to call the police.
“Please put it again in the newspaper that I am offering $50,000 cash reward for information,” the 23-year-old daughter told Saipan Tribune.
Anyone that can provide information leading to the location of Li—whether he’s still alive or already dead—may actually get $60,000 cash or more as a businesswoman has also pledged to give a $10,000 cash reward.
Li, 43, was reportedly last seen on Jan. 17 at 11am, seeing a friend at a tire shop in Puerto Rico. His family reported his disappearance to police that day at 7:56pm. The following morning, police recovered Li’s white Toyota Tacoma pickup truck abandoned on a dirt road located between Ladder Beach and Obyan Beach.
