-
26-year-old Zhang Yingying from the University of llinois at Urbana-Champaign has not been seen since getting into a car on a quiet street on Friday
Zhang Yingying, 26, a Fujian native, had been undertaking research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s department of natural resources and environmental sciences for about a month and was staying in university housing, according to local media.
The university’s police department said in a statement that Zhang was last seen on Friday afternoon. Local media said she had sent a text message that day saying that she was going to Urbana city to sign a lease on an apartment, but had not shown up. Her last phone activity was at 2.30pm the same day.
Security footage posted by police on YouTube showed Zhang standing at the side of a quiet avenue just after 2pm on Friday. A black Saturn Astra car pulled up beside her and she spoke to the driver for a few minutes before getting in.
“While we cannot release many of the specifics involved in the investigation, we have enlisted all of the available resources which we believe may be useful in our search,” the university police department’s chief, Jeff Christensen, said in the statement, which was released on Monday local time.
“Our investigation is ongoing, and we are continuing to pursue a number of routes which we hope will help us find Ms Zhang.”

Police said they were working with ride-sharing programmes like Uber, and checking other reports of a black vehicle whose driver had invited other young women to get in.

On their website, police said they were “deeply concerned” and were treating the case as a very urgent matter.

Singida wanawathamini wachezaji wao, wangeweza kuzitumia hizo pesa kwa ujanja mwingine lakini wameamua kuwatafutia basi zuri la kisasa ambalo wachezaji watatumia.” Mkurugenzi wa Singida United Festus Sanga amesema, basi hilo limenunuliwa kwa shilingi milioni 350 za Tanzania na watalitumia katika safari zao za ndani na nje ya nchi.
