Background
On October 19, 2023, Nancy Ng, a 29-year-old resident of Monterey Park, California, vanished while kayaking during a yoga retreat in Guatemala. Ng had been attending the retreat for the second year, seeking respite from the rigors of daily life.
Investigation
Following Ng’s disappearance, her family embarked upon a desperate search for answers. Despite their relentless efforts, they encountered resistance and inadequate information from various sources.
Kayaker’s Testimony
In November, Christina Blazek, a deputy public defender and fellow kayaker who had last seen Ng, provided a statement through her attorney. Blazek claimed to have advised Ng against swimming due to strong currents but was unable to dissuade her. According to Blazek’s account, Ng lost her kayak and disappeared while attempting to regain it.
Family’s Response
Ng’s family expressed gratitude for Blazek’s revelation but raised concerns regarding her previous silence. They questioned why she had withheld potentially vital information for such an extended period.
Current Status
The Ng family continues to seek more information from all potential sources. They implore Blazek to provide a direct statement rather than relying solely on her attorney’s interpretation. The family remains committed to pursuing every lead and bringing Nancy home.
Personal Life
Prior to her disappearance, Nancy Ng was employed by the Alhambra Unified School District and was the eldest of four siblings. Her interests included yoga, travel, hiking, and spending time with her beloved cat.
Fundraiser
A GoFundMe page established by Nancy’s sister’s partner has surpassed its initial target of $100,000. Donations will be allocated to rescue efforts and family support.
