In April 2002, Delhi Police began an investigation into three missing persons. Stephanie Van Nguyen, age 26, and her two children, Kristina, age 4 and John age 3. Mrs. Nguyen left a note that she was going to drive into the Ohio River. A lengthy investigation began, however, the case went cold.

In 2021, Delhi Police took a new look at this case. With the advancements of side scan sonar technology, the Hamilton County Police Association Dive Team and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) assisted Delhi Police in this investigation. Over the past 6 months, teams have been scanning the Ohio River, but it wasn't until last week that three unique objects in the water were found that looked promising.

On 10/13/21, both dive teams from Hamilton County Police Association and IDNR were called to the scene, and the vehicle in which the family was last seen was located in Aurora, Indiana. Schaffer's Towing assisted with the recovery of the vehicle. 

Indiana State Police is now assisting Delhi Police to determine if Mrs. Nguyen and her children were in the vehicle.
