Marion, Indiana-The Marion Police Department recently concluded an investigation into local massage parlors following complaints from community members. The investigation, conducted with the assistance of the Indiana State Police, uncovered illegal activities at three massage parlor locations in Marion:

  • Dream Spa (1900 W. Kem Road) 
  • Flower Massage (3403 S. Western Avenue) 
  • Tranquility Massage (203 E. 33rd Street) 


According to law enforcement, undercover detectives were solicited for sexual acts in exchange for payment at all three locations. Police believe the businesses were performing standard massage services and then offering illegal activities for additional cash. Based on their findings, search warrants were carried out on January 1.

  • Shan Yang, 47, of Jonesboro 
  • Zeng Ruiying, 61, of Marion 
  • Lijuan Kong, 54, of Marion
