Death of Linda Chua

On 6 February 2000, 27-year-old Linda Chua was jogging in Bukit Batok Nature Park when she was attacked and raped. She was later found naked in a 10-metre-deep ravine in the park with her clothes next to her. She was taken to the National University Hospital but died several days later on 14 February. Her attackers were never caught and the case remains unsolved to this day.

Background
Linda Chua, the second of four children of a retired businessman and a housewife, was a financial reporting manager at Exxon Mobil. She had a fiancé who she had met while they were both freshmen at Nanyang Technological University in 1991. They had been planning to get married in December that year.

Investigations
Police interviewed hundreds of people, however they did not find any useful leads.

In March, Singaporean TV crime show Crimewatch broadcast a public appeal for information about the case in the show's first episode that year.

On 29 March, citizens' groups, the public and Chua's friends offered a reward of $80,000 for information about the culprits behind the attack.
