A year later, despite the ongoing efforts by Ashekian's family and friends, a private investigator, local volunteers and some 150 Hong Kong police officers, there are still no leads. Ani Ashekian's 29-year-old sister Sossy describes Ani as a "smart, adventurous, vibrant, kind, beautiful, energetic, loving woman...
