Green
Bay Police appeal for public's help in Xiong case
Green Bay Police Department investigators held a press conference
yesterday (July 17) to offer an update on the search for a 21-year-old
UW-Green Bay senior missing since early Friday. Mahalia Xiong (pronounced
Ma-ha-LEE-ya Zhong) was driving a white four-door Sable with Wisconsin
plates TFD-715. Police are asking Oneida and Mason street businesses
— located along Xiong's likely route home after a night out in Ashwaubenon
with friends — to review any security videotapes that might have
captured her car passing. For the Press-Gazette story,
see http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070718/GPG0101/707180576/1207/GPGnews.
Counseling and Health Center offers
support to students
The following is a statement to all students:
"The recent
news of missing UW-Green Bay student Mahalia Xiong has impacted
the entire UW-Green Bay community; and we understand that many
of you may experience various levels of concern. Events such
as this can evoke strong emotions regarding seemingly unrelated
issues in people's lives, so please be especially aware of students'
and colleagues' reactions in the days ahead. This is a reminder
the UW-Green Bay Counseling and Health Center and its counselors
are available to offer their support. The Center can be contacted
at 465-2380 Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 pm."
Candlelight Vigil is scheduled for Friday
night
Friends of Mahalia Xiong have scheduled a community candlelight
vigil as a way to show support for family and friends as they search
for their missing daughter and friend. The gathering is scheduled
for 9 p.m. Friday (July 20) at the Lambeau Field parking lot, on
Oneida Street near the Resch Center. Organizers say, "We need all
the support we can get from all of our friends." Sue Keihn, representing
the University as dean of students, will be among those sharing
very brief remarks.
Facebook page, website extend search
Those leading the search for the missing UW-Green Bay student are
taking to the Internet to publicize the effort. See http://mahaliaxiong.pleasehelpfind.org/.
Snapshot in front-page rotation is
reminder
Several Log readers have observed, correctly, that a group photograph
that includes Mahalia Xiong continues to be displayed, in random
rotation with about a dozen other photos, as the featured UW-Green
Bay image at the institution's front page at http://www.uwgb.edu.
This photo captures a half dozen students at the Southeast Asian
Student Union booth during a campus activities fair; Xiong, known
to many on campus and an officer of the organization, is at far
right. The University Communication Office acknowledges the photo
carries significant poignancy this week, but hopes the image is
also a reminder that the search is ongoing.
