HOUSTON - Detectives say they still have no leads in the murder of a recent Cy-Fair ISD graduate whose body was discovered inside her bedroom closet more than three months ago.

Eighteen-year-old Trang Van, who's also known as Michelle Van or MiMi, had just graduated from Cypress Ridge High School and dreamed of becoming a school teacher.

Her family had said she was about to start summer classes at the University of Houston, but on July 2, someone cut those dreams short.

Van’s father arrived before 9 p.m. to the house at the 10100 block of Lazy Lagoon and found his youngest child's body on the floor of her bedroom closet seven hours after she missed an appointment to see her sister.

Homicide detectives later classified her death a homicide, stating she was killed several hours before she her body was discovered.

Anyone with information regarding Van's murder is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-847

I know who murdred this girl.  A man by the name of Joseph M. Payne has admitted to doing it to me and others, he has cell photos of the crime scene with him in it cutting her up.  He also claims to have killed others.  I and others have submitted data to Harris co. many times, but they won't do anything about it.  I'm staying anonymous at this moment, even with an ip generator/finder app.  Because if he finds out I posted this, he will do something to me.

Seriously? Nothing at all? Did anyone even contact you from the police?


Did you try crime stoppers?

This guy is still on the loose, we went straight to a HCSO deputy about this, but he took it as a joke.  Joseph actually has info about the murder on his MySpace blogs along with stuff about child and elderly abuse:  http://www.myspace.com/jpayne9207/blog#   Hopefully people will read this and be careful around him.
