Police lay kidnapping charge as search for missing Ontario woman continues

York Regional Police have charged a man with kidnapping in connection with the disappearance of an Ontario woman under "suspicious" circumstances.

Ying Zhang was last seen on July 25 at roughly 10:40 a.m. in the area of Woodbine Avenue and Steelcase Road in Markham, Ont. — an area just outside Toronto.

On Monday, police were on scene at the HoliBalance Wellness Centre inside the Chelsea Square commercial plaza looking for evidence about her disappearance. She is still missing.

A lawyer who works in the building told Global News Monday they heard screaming coming from the wellness centre on Thursday.

My son heard a woman screaming, he went to help....she was saved, the criminal was caught and in jail.
He is my hero, he stepped up like a true Canadian man.
Pray for this beautiful womens family.

What is wrong with some of these Canadians ?? She is Canadian and is now missing. Have some empathy and respect. You are embarrassing to say the least. I hope they find her

If you hear something screaming or in pain, it is civil duty to inform the Police.

[journeysalkebulan]

So someone heard screaming but that person didn't call police?

[rdhudon]

It's surreal how violent this country is becoming . I hope the lady is ok .

[moneymakingandy]

She was dying in her office an no one could help too busy working... I hope she is well.

[chuchuat]

This is terrible. My heart and thoughts are for her and her family. I hope they are able to find her alive.

[daniharr]

Why don't they have an updated picture of her?

[ismayilarifoglu]

😂 this country turns to joke. Heard screaming and no one bothered to check. Really? Were busy watching p* on your smartphones😂?

[tiffy]

Heard screaming and didn’t call police or alert anyone?

The green recycling bin doesn't help. They probably killed her and stuff her body inside the recycling bin. Sad sad story

For anyone fortunate enough to not have heard this type of story 1000 times, here is the grim reality: the man kidnapped her because he wanted to have sex with her, then raped her, then needed to make sure there was nobody to accuse him of rape so killed her, then needed to get rid of physical evidence so dumped her in the woods. Police probably saw his license plate when he drove by security cameras and found her dna in the van. He will be convicted eventually but these stories will keep happening. Look at any missing person website, its all beautiful women for a reason. Sad really.

So she screamed. And no one reponded?...

[keikairin]

I still remember the case of the Chinese lawyer who disappeared after overmortgaging her property. How many of these folks are criminal wealthy being extorted by other criminals?

[heatherwhittaker]

Screaming and one helped ....and the police appear to be ineffe tual twits.😮

I wonder if the natural healthcare worker will make it back to us.

I had a dream she wasnt with us anymore. And that she was in an area where theres tall grass, shrubs trees in clusters I pray to the Lord that I am wrong and that she returns home safe and sound. My heart goes out to her family and friends. We will continue to pray for her return. By the grace of God, she will return Dear Lord Hear My Prayer
