When her husband Chris died of Cancer months earlier, Yong Glenn dealt with the loss with hard work.
Colorado Springs Police Department- Yong Glenn, 56
She essentially ran two businesses in one: Yong’s Tailor Shop and Cleaners. She was a seamstress and a dry cleaner.
Glenn worked long hours at the store at 3825 Maizeland Road. Her customers said she was very friendly.
She also taught a sunday school class at her church. She had two sons and a daughter.
“She was well respected, well liked in her church,” said Colorado Springs police Lt. Jeff Jensen.
On March 8, 2010, someone entered her shop in the early afternoon and demanded the keys to her car, a tan or gold 2001 Nissan Pathfinder.
The killer fired a bullet into Yong’s head and fled.
It was unusual that the robber didn’t take cash Yong had at the store or her purse, Jensen said.
Only the car with a license plate of 584-OMI was taken.

Police canvassed the shopping center. Workers in a business that had a lot of customers next door said they had heard one loud bang but they figured something had fallen over and crashed.
Nobody had seen anything unusual.
“It happened in broad daylight next to a business that has a lot of customers coming and going all the time,” Jensen said.
Police sent Yong’s vin number, license plate and a discription around the country. Nothing has come of it though.
“I can’t remember another case like that,” Jensen said. “It hasn’t surfaced.”
Anyone with information about Yong’s murder or who knows where her car is located is asked to call the Colorado Springs Police Department at 719-444-7000. Denver Post staff writer Kirk Mitchell can be reached at 303-954-1206. Follow him on Twitter for updates @KmitchellDP
