The police targeted Chang after reviewing surveillance footage, showing Chao gave the suspect a ride on her scooter to his residence at around 6pm on Feb. 2, where she was last seen.
Blood traces belonging to two other missing women were later found in Chang's residence, with forensics reports confirming their identities, one of whom was Huang.
