The FBI is investigating the suspected theft of about $350,000 from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in the midst of the 2004 campaign, officials said.

The committee's compliance division, which monitors donations, discovered in early October that about $350,000 in donor checks -- many made out to "DSCC" -- had been diverted to a private bank account for DSCAMPCO, according to officials familiar with the case. The contributions were supposed to go into the committee's general fund, officials said.

During the Clinton administration, Chiang, a presidential appointee, was the highest-ranking Asian American at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

He joined the Democratic National Committee in June 2001 as director of Asian and Pacific Island American outreach before going to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Chiang waged a public campaign in 1999 to pressure D.C. police to fully investigate the death of his sister, Joyce Chiang, a government immigration lawyer. Joyce Chiang, 28, disappeared in January 1999 after being dropped off by a friend in Dupont Circle. Her body was found nearly three months later, washed up on the Potomac riverbank in Fairfax County. The body was too decomposed to determine the cause of death, officials said.

Investigators have raised the possibility that Joyce Chiang committed suicide, a theory that Roger Chiang has publicly rejected.

Why is it that a good number of murder investigations from the 90's eventually end up with a relationship to the Clintons and/or their cronies.

How many "unsolved" murders are there now?
