Unsolved Mystery: The McDonald's Boys

Okay, since I miss writing an article about murder mysteries stuff and I've been searching for some good stuff to write and somehow I bump into this case at first was like, did they eat in Mcdonalds before they disappear? or like did the McDonald's you know, kill them to make them a sacrifice or stuff? I know my imagination is kinda extreme but hey, maybe right?....kidding!. Anyways, let's start because I'm pretty excited about this one.

Unsolve Mystery: The McDonald's Boys

On May 14, 1968, two boys named Keh Chin Ann and Toh Hong Huat went missing and the two of them were last seen at 12:30 pm. Chin Ann and Hong Huat are attending Owen Primary School, in their afternoon lesson the teacher did a roll, all of the students answered when their names are called but two names are left hanging in the air. The two of them are pretty close with each other, well-behaved children, and never skip classes so where did they go?

Chin Ann and Hong Huat apparently left their bags in school and they went to a nearby shop to buy some sweets, the last person who seen Chin Ann was his classmate, Wang Piwei. While Hong Huat who is a timid boy has requested to go to school on his own that day and he was last seen by his mother, Hong Huat mother said " I did not suspect anything when Hong Huat Told me not to accompany him to school that day as he was meeting a friend". In class, the teacher basically notices the absence of Chin Ann and Hong Huat so she calls for their parents. Keh Chin Ann's father Keh Cheng Pan together with his wife Tay Mee Na shows up at school while Tan Geok Kuan, Toh Hong Huat's mother joins them shortly after. As a parent, all of them are concerned and their anxiety only grows as they search the school grounds and the surrounding Owen housing Estate but they didn't find their children. In the evening on the same day, they call the police but the police investigations reveal little new information, it's like the boys just vanished into the thin air in broad daylight. The search continues for weeks and there are many sleepless nights for the families, Both of their mothers said that neither of them had asked for money and there had been no indication that they would be missing for this long. Geok Kuan's mother said that Hong Huat is her only son and she told the newspapers "Hong Huat's money is in his two piggy banks was untouched, he even asks me to prepare pork chops and potato chips for dinner before he left home that day" because of her worries, she visits more than 30 temples, seeking assistance from the medium there. Months later after they set off for school the both of them are still missing, The families offered a monetary reward of $1,000 each for information leading to the boy's location. July 3, 1980, a month later, as their inspiration intensifies the sum is raised to $5,000 each. July 17, 1980, 4 newspapers assist the police in handing out more than 30,000 leaflets with Chin Ann and Hong Huat faces printed on them, since 30,000 is not enough, another 10,000 leaflets are distributed around police stations, police post, and to officers, some even put up at community centers, fast food outlets, and shopping centers. Because of the $5,000 reward, members of the public call into the police hotline but the majority of the callers refuses to identify themselves but they stated that they spotted the boys in a variety of locations, one of the callers said she saw the boys as far off as Sentosa or St. John's Island and the other one says he saw them at the Singapore - Johor Express bus terminal together with two Chinese men in their 40s but basically all the tip-offs lead to dead ends.

The police expand their search to Malaysia.

September 3, 1989, at exactly 11:30 pm Keh Cheng Pan, Chin Ann's father receives a call that leaves him pale and giddy and his right hand and leg becoming weak. He said that he doesn't remember what was said on the call but the experience is evidently traumatic to the point that he suffers a stroke the next day. Eerily, tan Geok Huan, Hong Huat's mother receives a similar haunting call that same night, only a half-hour difference. On-call, the make speaks in Hokkien and tells her that she should not hope for her son to return. The Families are anguished and desperate to finds their children so they increase the reward for information a third time, On September 22, 1980, more than 4 months after the Chin Ann and Hong Huat disappearance the reward was raised to $20,000 and on October 4, 1980, a fast-food chain named Mcdonalds announces an offer of $100,000 just for the information about Chin Ann and Hong Huat's whereabouts. The leaflets with the boys' faces printed on them and the police hotline number were also put up at 16 Mcdonalds's restaurants. The unprecedented sum of reward money is how the boys' disappearance becomes associated with the fast-food chain and the missing children eventually gain notoriety as "the McDonals Boys". Years had past and the police cast their nets even wider, expanding their search to Indonesia and Thailand and 300 posters sponsored by McDonald's are translated into Bahasa Indonesia and sent to Jakarta. Even Bangkok police also provided with Chin Ann and Hong Huat's details and photographs, but even with technological advances, there is still little progress.

May 14, 1993, Keh Chin Ann and Toh Hong Huat are declared legally dead and the case remains unresolved till today.

Well, That is all! My theory is that they were kidnapped for child trafficking and basically dismembered but I am not sure because there is not enough evidence. It's just so sad because even the body if they are really dead were not recovered. How about you? what do you think happened to Chin Ann and Hong Huat?

I hope you like it! have a nice day/night!byee!
