In 1978, five young women working as hostesses in Singapore mysteriously disappeared after being lured by a Hong Kong businessman to a supposed yacht party. Initial investigations revealed the event was likely a meticulously planned human trafficking operation, involving international suspects and links to a broader network. Despite extensive efforts by Singaporean authorities, Indonesian officials, and Interpol, the women were never found. The case garnered international attention, with connections to other similar disappearances in Asia. Though briefly reopened in 2003 after new claims surfaced, no concrete evidence emerged. Today, the disappearance remains an unsolved and haunting mystery.
