GREEN BAY, Wis. (Crime Library) — It has been nearly two weeks since a University of Wisconsin-Green Bay (UWGB) student went missing, and police are still no closer to solving her disappearance. Earlier this month, another college student, Kelly Nolan, 22, disappeared in Madison, and she was later found murdered in a densely wooded area just off U.S. Route 14. The similarities in the two cases have some experts wondering if a serial killer might be stalking young college students in America's dairyland.
On the night of Thursday, July 12, Mahalia Xiong, (pronounced Ma-ha-LEE-ya Zhong) 21, left her car at Ashwaubenon Bowling Alley at 2929 Allied Street and rode with friends to the Timeout Sports Bar & Grill at 710 Hansen Road in Green Bay. The group returned at about 2:30 a.m., and Mahalia was last seen getting in her car alone and driving north on South Oneida Street en route to her east-side Green Bay home. Mahalia called her boyfriend at 2:32 a.m., but she didn't leave a message. No one has heard from her since.

When family members were unable to reach Mahalia on Friday, they began to worry something might have happened to her.
"We started calling all over," Mahalia's sister, Melissa Sinitsky, said in a July 16 interview with the Green Bay Press Gazette. "We started questioning her friends. We kept calling her phone — we couldn't get an answer."
