He allegedly murdered his wife and mother-in-law because his wife became inconvenient for him and he wished to pursue new romances.
MARTINEZ — It has all the makings of the Laci Peterson murder case, minus the accompanying media frenzy.
The prosecutor, Deputy District Attorney Mary Knox, started the trial by carefully going through the history of a police investigation that started with a report from Vo, which was only thoroughly investigated months later thanks to a helpful — but suspicious — tipster. “There’s no confession. There’s no eyewitness to what happened to Ms. Ly and Ms. Tran. And in the case of Ms. Ly, there’s no body,” Feuerwerker said. “I’m going to ask you all to scrutinize it all very carefully … You’re going to see that an accusation is not the same thing as proof.”
The prosecution’s case is a mosaic of statements from Ly’s co-workers, phone records, internet searches, surveillance footage and Vo’s own alleged lies to police. Through this, detectives were able to establish that Vo continued to drive Ly’s Honda Fit around the East Bay, leaving it in locations throughout Oakland, while denying that he knew where his wife, mother-in-law or the car were.
When police asked Vo if he wanted his wife listed as a missing person, he answered affirmatively, but added, “Hopefully she’s not playing disappearance,” authorities said. When they asked why he waited a week from their fight about cabinets to report her missing, he responded that he thought she was just avoiding him and, “didn’t know she was missing,” authorities said in court filings
