...Ms. Fu's body showed no signs of decay. Her head had been shaved; both eyeballs were missing and the flesh around the sockets had ulcerated. There were two black holes on the nose. The upper body was bare, her underwear was wrapped around her head and her trousers were a little worn. The thigh and calf muscles were somewhat dried up, and the tips of the toes were stretched out in a stiff position...
Ms. Fu Keshu and her nephew Mr. Xu Genli disappeared in Jinggangshan in November 2005. Guided by some locals, their family members went through the valleys and caves in the nearby mountains searching for them. They also petitioned the Jinggangshan City government to help find them, but to no avail. The bodies were not found until April and May of 2006 at Wuzhi Peak in the Jinggang Mountains.
Victims:
Ms. Fu Keshu, 54, a retired teacher at the Kaiyang County No.1 primary school, Guizhou Province.
Mr. Xu Genli, Ms. Fu’s nephew, a businessman from Jinsha County, Guizhou Province.

On November 7, 2005 Ms. Fu Keshu and Mr. Xu Genli left home with an older woman. They arrived at the Jinggang Mountains on the evening of November 16, 2005. They stayed at the Yongxin Hotel that night. At around 8:00 a.m. on November 17, 2005, they planned to tour the area and distribute some Falun Gong materials, but the elderly woman, not feeling well after the bus ride, stayed at the hotel. Before Ms. Fu and Mr. Xu left hotel, they told the woman, "Don't go anywhere! We'll return later this afternoon for sure." They never returned. The woman waited for five days. On the sixth day, she returned to Guiyang City in Guizhou Province.
After Ms. Fu and Mr. Xu's family learned about their disappearance, on December 4, they went to the Jinggang Mountains to look for them. They also inquired about them at the Yongxin Hotel and reported the disappearance to the Ciping Police Department. They broadcast public announcements on the Jinggangshan City TV, and posted announcements at various tourist sites. They also found locals who took them into the mountains, but they didn't find anything. The family submitted reports to the Jinggangshan City government, the Jinggangshan City Police Department, the Jinggangshan City Politics and Law Committee, the Jinggangshan City Tourism Bureau and other government agencies, and continually asked for help to find them.
On April 30, 2006, the family got a phone call from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Jinggangshan City Police Department, saying a male body had been found at Wuzhi Peak in the Jinggang Mountains. On May 3, 2006, Mr. Xu's six family members arrived at the Jinggang Mountains and requested that people from the government’s Criminal Division go along with them.
Mr. Xu's body was lying on the dried riverbed of a small brook, downstream from a waterfall. The body was stuck between rocks, facing up, with a stream running underneath it. The muscles were dried-up, the legs were spread apart and both hands were raised above the head. It appeared the body had been dragged and strategically placed between the rocks. A T-shirt was found on the riverbank not far from the body, and his jacket and wallet were also found nearby..
His head had been shaved; there was a large hole in the forehead that exposed the brain. Both eyeballs were missing; the flesh around the sockets had ulcerated; there were two black holes on the nose. The chest and abdomen had been cut open. The police told the family that they had dissected the body for an autopsy and DNA test. On May 6, the body was taken to the Ciping Morgue.
On May 7, 2006, Ms. Fu Keshu's family members and some locals went to the mountain to look for her. On May 9, 2006, the six people took a ferry along the river and went into the mountains again. At 9:00 a.m. they found Ms. Fu's coat underneath a waterfall, over a hundred feet upstream from the location of Mr. Xu's body. At 10:00 a.m. they found Ms. Fu's body in the middle section of a brook above the waterfall. They called the police, who took pictures and videotaped the scene. Xiao, a judicial doctor, conducted an autopsy.
Ms. Fu's body showed no signs of decay. Her head had been shaved; both eyeballs were missing and the flesh around the sockets had ulcerated. There were two black holes on the nose. The upper body was bare, her underwear was wrapped around her head and her trousers were a little worn. The thigh and calf muscles were somewhat dried up, and the tips of the toes were stretched out in a stiff position.
On the afternoon of May 9, 2006, Ms. Fu's body was sent to the Ciping Morgue. In the evening, the Criminal Division told her family that the two victims had "committed suicide." When the family asked about a motive for the suicide, the police became upset. On May 11, 2006, Ms. Fu's body was moved from the Ciping Morgue to the Jian Morgue. It was cremated early in the morning on May 12.
There were many similarities between the two bodies. Both victims were hairless, their eyeballs were missing, the flesh around the sockets had ulcerated and there were two black holes on the nose.
Mr. Xu Genli's body had been carved up before his family arrived at the scene. The nature of the cuts was consistent with organ harvesting. If the police were only doing a DNA test, they should not have cut him open on the mountain in the absence of any family member. A sample of skin tissue and hair would have been sufficient.
Ms. Fu Keshu's body had not decayed, while Mr. Xu Genli's body had dried up and the bones were exposed, which indicated that the two people had not died at the same time.
When Mr. Xu's sister had been anxiously searching for him and Ms. Fu, she told the Jinggangshan City police that Mr. Xu was a Falun Gong practitioner. A police officer said, "Our manpower is limited! You should go look for him yourself." He also said that Falun Gong materials had been found in Huangyangjie on November 18, 2005. Thinking that Mr. Xu and Ms. Fu had gone there, the family asked, "Were they arrested?" The police said, "No."
On December 8, 2005, the family had gone to the Jinggangshan City Tourism Bureau to ask for their help in finding the two missing people. The next day, a Mr. Zhu from the Jinggangshan City National Security Division talked to the family and asked whether the two missing people were Falun Gong practitioners, and who else in the family practiced Falun Gong. He also mentioned that Falun Gong materials had been found in Huangyangjie on November 18, 2005. When the family asked whether someone was arrested in Huangyangjie, he said "No." The family asked, "If no one was found, why you questioning us?" He didn't say a word and left.
The police insist that the victims committed suicide and conducted no further investigation. The police later changed the cause of death to "sudden death," after failing to properly explain the deaths. "Sudden death" still did not explain the missing hair and eyeballs, or the incision in Mr. Xu’s body.
Based on these findings, their family suspected that Ms. Fu Keshu and Mr. Xu Genli’s organs were harvested, resulting in their deaths.
