Crime Weirdness

Girly Chew: The Malaysian woman murdered in the US for being an alien queen

Murder is uncommon. Murder cases might seem to pop up pretty often on news portals and social media, but only about 0.7% of deaths worldwide were the result of homicide. Y’all know what’s even more uncommon? Murders that involve aliens, cannibalism and vampire-like behavior, all in one case.

Things boutta get craaaazy in here.

We used two major sources for this story, and we’ll link them at the end of the article, but this took place in the US when a Malaysian girl named Girly Chew met a man named Diazein Hossencofft.

 

Girly Chew’s murder started off as a tale of romance and marriage bliss

In the early 90s, a 27 year-old Girly Chew took a vacation trip to the US of A, and one of her stops was the SeaWorld theme park in San Antonio, Texas. SeaWorld is what you’d have if you took Disneyland and mashed it with Aquaria KLCC. There, she met Diazien Hossencofft, and the two hit it off so well that they continued contacting each other even after Girly returned home to Malaysia. This being the 90s, they exchanged correspondence via the ancient practice (by today’s standards) of letter writing.

Apparently, Diazein had so much game that he managed to charm Girly across the ocean, and they were happily married by 1992. The word was that he loved her so much that he gifted her a wedding ring worth over USD$7,500 (almost RM68K in 2022). A real La La Land type deal.

The couple settled down in Alburqueque, New Mexico, with Girly working as a teller at a branch of Bank of New Mexico. She was said to be really good at her job, to the point that her colleagues nicknamed her “Microchip”. Her husband, on the other hand…

 

Diazein Hossencofft was a notorious conman on the FBI watchlist

Born Armand Chavez, Diazein hated the name that his parents gave him enough to have it changed to Diazein Hossencofft. According to September Sacrifice, a very, very comprehensive book on the case, he thought the name made him a combination of Japanese and German, thereby making him the master race.

By the time Diazein met Girly, he already had a long history as a con artist. He would claim to be a former CIA scientist, a medical doctor, a thoracic surgeon with degrees from the University of Tokyo, Cornell Medical College and Stanford. Of course, those were all lies. In truth, he briefly attended University College Berkeley before dropping out. We didn’t manage to find out what course he took, but we did find out that he left UC Berkeley with a couple of vials of his classmates’ blood. Keep this blood thing in mind for a a little later.

While Girly was making an honest living as a bank teller, Diazein would trick people into believing that he was a geneticist by claiming to have the cure for cancer. This “cure” was no ordinary drug. No, it was a “secret serum” made out of his own blood. As ridiculous as that sounds, people believed him. An elderly woman, Sunny Blake, was a wealthy heiress who had breast cancer, and Diazein told her he could cure her ailment with his “serum”. On top of that, he said that he was a sort of living, walking Fountain of Youth, and his blood could make her young again.

Sunny wasn’t Diazein’s only victim – there are account of numerous other cancer patients who kena scammed by him. The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had caught wind of his scummy activities in 1995, and despite the fact that they investigated him, he was never arrested.

 

He also had affairs with multiple women behind Girly’s back

Okay, cheating on your wife sounds relatively tame compared to literally scamming and killing people by injecting them with your blood, but one of the affairs would eventually contribute heavily to Girly’s death. Enter our third character, Linda Henning.

Linda was a successful fashion designer, and in 1999, she bumped into Diazein at a UFO believers’ meetup. After the meetup, Linda’s friends and family said that her personality had taken a nosedive. She started actively promoting the conspiracy that the US government was secretly controlled by reptilian aliens posing as humans by wearing human skinsuits.

When all of this was happening, Girly learnt that Diazein was not who he said he was; that he was using a fake name, and that he wasn’t a real doctor. After an incident in 1999 where Diazein threatened to kill Girly, she moved out of their house and filed for divorce. She even told her colleagues that she was afraid of her husband:

“If anything happens to me, Diazein killed me,” – Girly Chew to her coworkers at the Bank of New Mexico

That unfortunately served as a grim foreshadowing for what would happen later that year.

 

Girly disappeared without a trace… but the police found a ninja sword

The last time anyone saw Girly was when she departed for work on the morning of 10 September 1999. A few hours after she left for work, neighbors spotted Diazein speeding down the street with “black grease” smeared all over his face and neck. He was also wearing forest green camouflage clothing. That probably only made him stand out more cuz they lived in the desert. Genius.

“YO SLOW DOWN SLOW DOWN”

Anywho, Girly didn’t show up to work the next day. Her colleagues immediately heard alarm bells ringing in their head, given the whole “my husband threatened to kill me” thing. Diazein was instantly suspect numero uno, especially since he had conveniently left for the city of Charleston, South Carolina the same day.

When police investigated Girly’s apartment, they found signs of a struggle and a strong smell of bleach. Using luminol, they detected traces of blood, which was later determined to be from Girly, Linda and a guy called Bill Miller (we’ll talk about him in a bit).

Naturally, they questioned Linda, but she basically buat bodoh and denied everything, but that turned out to be a lie, cuz investigators found a “ninja sword” (exact words in court documents) in her attic, purchased on the morning of Girly’s disappearance. Girly’s clothes was soon discovered along a highway in New Mexico, wrapped in bloodstained grey tarp along with some duct tape with a strand of Linda’s hair attached to it, further

A few weeks later, the cops managed to arrest Diazein.

 

Diazein and Linda might have eaten Girly’s body to get rid of evidence

According to Diazein’s testimony in court, a man named Bill Miller was the true killer of Girly Chew. Apparently, Bill Miller and his militia friends wanted to kill a human as practice before the final showdown with the emerging New World Order. He had no idea that his wife was going to be killed for certain, and he admitted his job was to make sure no physical evidence had been left behind.

Remember the vials of blood we mentioned earlier? When he was posing as a doctor and scamming people, he had allegedly stored a fridge full of blood for “research” purposes. He claimed that he thought if he diluted a random woman’s blood from his fridge with acid and bleach, the police would be thrown off by the concoction. There was only one problem:

“…when I stuck the vial in my pocket and went to sit down, uh, it broke. The only other sequence of blood that I had was Linda’s…” – Diazein Hossencofft in a court testimony

When he was on the witness stand in Linda’s trial, he had some spine-chilling things to say about Girly:

“She knew she was gonna be hunted like the dog she was, and yes, she ran like a scared rabbit in an open field. She knew.” – Diazein Hossencofft to the judge

We wish we could say the things he said with a straight face. Img from Reddit.

He also testified that he was a reptilian shapeshifter and could be in several places at once, implying that he had planned the whole thing and Linda was completely innocent. It was never said outright, but he hinted that they had cannibalized parts of Girly’s corpse. Not to be outdone by Diazein, Linda said that her lover convinced her that Girly had to be killed because his wife was an alien queen, and Linda herself was an alien cat vampire… thing. She even opened her mouth to show the court her “fangs”.

All said and done, the court didn’t really believe his story, and this Bill Miller guy was really only a minor character in the saga. Diazein was sentenced to life in prison plus 61 years at the Wyoming State Penitentiary. Linda was dealt 73 years in prison, and for tampering with evidence, Bill Miller was sentenced to a year of probation. From what we could gather, Girly’s body was never found, and will likely never be found.

[We got a lot of the case’s info from the book September Sacrifice, so if you want more details (yes, there IS more), give it a shot, and here’s a link to the court documents.]
