American comedian Tou Ger Xiong was stabbed to death in Colombia after being kidnapped when he went to meet a woman he connected with online. The 50-year-old Minnesota resident was vacationing in Medellin when a group of men abducted him on December 10th and demanded a $2,000 ransom from his family. After receiving no payment, Xiong's body was found the next day dumped in a ravine showing stab wounds and blunt trauma, indicating a possible botched escape attempt. Police discovered a mystery woman removing items from his apartment and now seek to identify if she was involved. The brutal murder has shocked Xiong's family and Minnesota elected officials as authorities pursue leads.
