Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Thetsombandith was last seen in San Diego, California on August 18, 1991. He had moved from his native Laos to live with relatives in San Diego in 1989, and decided to stay there premanently. At the time of his disappearance, he was living with his uncle.
Thetsombandith was walking in the 6000 block of Brooklyn Avenue at 7:30 a.m. when he was abducted by four or five men and forced into a white or gray 1991 Buick Skylark at gunpoint. He left one white shoe behind.
Percyval Leslie Dryden was later convicted of Thetsombandith's murder. Authorities believe Dryden had mistaken him for someone else who had broken into his car the night before. Dryden claimed he just talked to Thetsombandith and then let him out of the vehicle a block away. He has never been heard from again.
Dryden was sentenced to 19 years to life in prison. He never revealed the location of Thetsombandith's body. Foul play is suspected in his case due to the circumstances involved.

A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
