Michigan missing mom went to New York to meet man from dating app weeks ago, 'no trace' of her since​

A Michigan mom is missing after she left to meet a man in New York who she met on a dating website.

Lynn Kim left her home on New Year's Eve with a packed van and left to meet a man that she met on meetme.com who allegedly lives in Bronx, New York, but never returned and has since been unreachable, according to FOX 2 Detroit.

Shannon Christian, Kim's cousin, said that it's unlike her to cease communication with all people close with her.

"There is literally no trace, and that’s not her," Christian said. "No matter what we would always have each other’s back, and we always have for the most part, she has always been there for me."

Christian said she was close with Kim all the way up until November 2022, which was the same time Christian met the man on meetme.com.

"She met this guy, he lived in Bronx, New York, and that’s where she was going, Christian said, adding that "She would stay on FaceTime with him, from morning until night."

According to Christian, Lynn began removing people from her life.

"December 31st she took off with some of her stuff, and from what I just found out today, January 4th, was (the last time) any contact was made," Christian said.

She filed a missing persons report with the Clinton Township police, who say that the case is under investigation.

Christian said that someone who didn't identify themselves gave people looking for Lynn a message, saying "You’ll never find her. We’re in California."

One of the children is six-years-old and has nightmares because of the situation, according to Christian, who said that Lynn texted her kids "I love you" before leaving.

The cousin also said that Lynn's mother in South Korea is unable to reach her.

A missing person’s report has been filed in Clinton Township where Lynn and her kids live, while those searching for her are desperate for answers.

"Lynn if you’re okay, you need to let us know that you are fine," Shannon said. "You are loved."

There is more reason for concern, Shannon says Lynn's social media accounts have gone dark as well - and her phone is off.

Clinton Township police say this case is under investigation but other than that - no further updates are available.

Lynn Kim's three children are with relatives right now.

'Never going to find her': Mom who met Bronx man online missing

‘You’re never going to find her’: Mom vanishes after meeting Bronx man online​

When Lynn Kim left her Michigan home on New Year’s Eve 2022, her ex-husband and his sister tried to talk some sense into her.

“Don’t go to New York and meet some guy you never met,” Nicholas Anderson recalled his sister saying. “They’re going to find you dead somewhere.”

Within a week, most traces of Kim, a 39-year-old mother of three, were gone.

“All social media has been deleted,” long-time friend Shannon Christian told PIX11 News.

Another friend, Charlene Gilbert, said that Lynn “basically fell off the face of the earth.”

“She hasn’t paid any of her bills. Her phone is disconnected,” said Gilbert. “There’s no more Lynn.”

The disappearance of Kim, a pediatric medical assistant with two sons, 6 and 13, and a 17-year-old daughter, highlights the risky and mysterious world of online dating sites.

Friends and family said they knew Kim had met a guy named “Joey” on the MeetMe site.

“Her friends have told me he was from the Bronx,” Anderson said of “Joey.”

Anderson said his ex-wife moved back in with him last summer when he was fighting cancer and undergoing treatment. The two lived together with their children.

“Lynn used to cook dinner for the kids and make sure they were fed,” Anderson told PIX11. “Once she had this guy in her life, she stopped caring.”

Around early December, Kim started spending huge amounts of time on the phone and computer with “Joey,” said Anderson.

Friends now believe he has a different first name, with the last name Ramos.

Anderson said the man was abusive when talking to Kim and wanted her children to stay out of her bedroom. The online “Joey” wore a baseball hat and gold chain.

“She would walk through the house and say, ‘I love you so much,'” Anderson recalled of Kim’s conversations with “Joey.” “And I even asked her one time, ‘Lynn, how do you love someone that you’ve never met in your life? You only met this guy over a FaceTime video!'”

Gilbert said the last time she spoke to Kim was Jan. 4, several days after Kim had driven away in her 2016 Chrysler Town & Country minivan.

“This guy Joey is in the background, and he’s cursing me over the phone,” Gilbert recalled.

When she called Kim later that day, Gilbert said, the man answered.

She said he cursed her again, saying, “F— you, you’re never going to find her. We’re in California.”

Soon after, Kim’s Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat accounts were disabled.

Gilbert said Kim had texted her children, “I love you.”


About two weeks after the disappearance, Anderson said his mother reported Kim missing to police in Clinton Township, Michigan.

“They said basically, ‘There’s nothing we can do,’ because she left willingly,” Anderson said.

A detective at the Clinton Township Police Department told PIX11 on Tuesday that Kim has been entered in a database as missing, and that a red flag would show up if anyone tried to use her social security number.

The detective said he may reach out to the NYPD Missing Persons Unit.
