Baltimore County, MD – Baltimore County Police Department has intensified its search for leads in the unsolved homicide of 46-year-old Yang Yoon, which occurred on January 21, 1997. The case, remaining open for over two decades, witnessed a significant development with the release of a composite sketch of a suspect.
