2/22/2024 BREAKING UPDATE: On 2/22/2024, Thomas Olson was convicted of murdering Chong Moua Yang.

On September 26, 2023, prosecutors dropped the charges against Robert Rodway, one of two Michigan men accused of murdering avid hunter and beloved family man Chong Moua Yang in the fall of 2018. This development occurred less than 24 hours before the trial was scheduled to begin, following the presentation of exculpatory evidence that suggests the possible involvement of an entirely different suspect. In this breaking update episode of Last Seen Alive, we cover the most recent—and unexpected—developments in this ongoing case.
