Felicia Teo Wei Ling (23 February 1988 – 30 June 2007; 张玮凌 Zhāng Weǐlíng), was a Singaporean who was presumed dead after she went missing on 30 June 2007. It was alleged that she was murdered by her two friends, whom she visited on the same night. Teo was reported missing four days after she disappeared, and there were both search efforts and investigations made to trace her whereabouts. The case made headlines due to extensive public appeals and searches for Teo, and became one of Singapore's high-profile missing person cases.
13 years later, in 2020, the police investigations made a breakthrough and the case of Teo's disappearance was re-classified as murder. One of Teo's two friends, Ahmad Danial bin Mohamed Rafa'ee, who claimed to last see her leaving his flat before she went missing, was arrested and charged with murder after the police found in his possession one of Teo's belongings that she was carrying when she disappeared. The second suspect, Ragil Putra Setia Sukmarahjana, was on the police's wanted list and remains at large outside Singapore.
Ahmad's murder charge was temporarily withdrawn, but he received a 26-month jail term for fresh charges of misappropriating Teo's belongings, giving false evidence, and the illegal disposal of Teo's corpse, which remained missing.
