A California grandfather, 74-year-old Naiping Hou, vanished on May 4, leaving behind an emptied Rancho Cucamonga home. Investigators say someone withdrew $1 million from his accounts to buy gold bars and cryptocurrency. They also say evidence suggests someone attempted to sell his car and rent out his house.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department is now investigating the case as a potential kidnapping linked to identity theft.
