Minivan May Lead to Missing Man

Police still don't have any leads in the search for a missing Pennsauken man.

Thong Huynh, 20, was last seen June 3.

Huynh's minivan was found gutted. His family looked at it Tuesday and wondered where he is and how the minivan ended up in a wooded lot bordering the Delaware River.

"It's sort of suspicious. Seems like somebody robbed the van and burnt it, but there's no body," said Thuong Huynh, Huynh's brother.

Thuong Huynh said his brother is the middle child of five. He said he last talked to his brother around 2 a.m. Wednesday.

Thong Huynh ran a temp agency named THM Services Inc. out of a south Philadelphia shopping center. He was last seen Thursday afternoon at Peronace Financial Exchange in North Philadelphia where he cashed $17,000 in checks for his employees.

Employees said that he came into the East Wyoming Avenue shop at least once a week.

"We hope that he ran away with the money. That's about it. I rather he ran away with it than somebody stole it from him and hurt him," one employee said

Neighbors found the burned van in a vacant wooded lot. His family reported him missing on June 4. Police cadets searched the site for clues, hoping it will lead them to the young entrepreneur.

"We pray, just like any Christian. We hang out every other day," Thuong Huynh said. "He's my favorite sibling, basically."

Camden County prosecutors have not yet said if robbery was a motive for his disappearance. They urge the public to call police with any tips.
