Hey there! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. My name is Luna, and I am the person behind this blog. My fascination with true crime started out as a simple hobby; binge listening to & watching so many episodes of Unsolved Mysteries, and the many other true crime documentaries. Fortunate for me, I have found my calling.

I write about cases that hit close to home. Essentially my goal/job is to shed light on cases (especially cold cases) I am currently committing myself to Danny Casolaro. Speaking of which, I am extremely happy to see that my posts on this case so far is starting to gain traction.

Thank you for the likes and for hearing what I have to say; because it is important-to give a voice to the voiceless and above all, get justice.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

Today we will be discussing the disappearance and murder of Hae Min Lee. She was a beautiful light in this world and she was taken away too soon.

Who was Hae Min Lee? To me, Hae is a friend; and not an ordinary one. But someone who embodies the definition of young & vibrant. Let’s all get to know Hae:

hae was born on October 15, 1980 in South Korea; in 1992, she emigrated to the U.S. with her mother and brother. She was raised in Baltimore County and was part of a Korean immigrant household, navigating both her culture and American teen life.

Hae was a senior at Woodlawn High School in 1999. She was popular, outgoing, and athletic- she was a star athlete on the field hockey and lacrosse teams. Friends remember her as warm, funny, independent, and driven.

Hae kept a diary like many girls would do; she would write about her relationships, her future dreams, her struggles balancing school, family expectations, and love. Unfortunately, her diary entries were submitted as evidence. However, her diary entries show a vibrant teenage girl who was deeply thoughtful, emotional, and sincere.

One of her entries read: “I love him. it’s no joke. I really love him. it hurts that I don’t know if I should let him go or if I should try harder. I want him to be my last love.”

That’s a girl figuring out love and heartbreak, just like many of us.

Hae loved to laugh and joke. According to her friends, she was the kind of girl people wanted to be around-magnetic and real. She worked at LensCrafters and juggled school, sports, and her job-she was very mature beyond her years.

Hae dreamed of studying medicine or optometry-possibly become a pediatrician.

She was ambitious, smart, and had big goals for her life.

Girls like Hae often aren’t memorialized with the fullness they deserve. In true crime, especially when race or immigrant status is involved, the victim can easily become background noise to the “main story.”

Hae Min Lee was more than a case. She was a girl who loved hard, ran fast, laughed loudly, and wrote her feelings down with a pen like it was sacred.
