From CTV Newsnet Canada Jan. 4 '04
OMY.......She could be in China.....
Keep check Google new's for Cecilia Zhang
CTV Newsnet: Interpol recruited to hunt for Cecilia Zhang*0:32
Interpol called to widen hunt for Cecilia Zhang
CTV.ca News Staff
As the search for a missing nine-year-old Toronto girl stretches past the one-month mark, investigators have asked police agencies from around the world to join the hunt for Cecilia Zhang.
Toronto police Sgt. Jim Muscat says a call has gone out to Interpol, which has notified its 181 member police agencies of the overnight events of Oct. 20, when the girl went missing from her bedroom in a northeast Toronto home.
"We have advised Interpol of information on the abducted child," Muscat told The Toronto Sun. "Interpol disperses the information to police agencies worldwide."
Police in Hong Kong, Britain and the U.S., are conducting background checks on a vareity of boarders who lived in the the Zhang family home, in case Cecilia was smuggled out of Canada.
According to Sgt. Muscat, the task of fidning everyone who lived at the suburban home is proving difficult.
"We are still trying to identify some of these people," Muscat said. "There were dozens of boarders and we haven't been able to track down some of them."
Alerts have also been issued to Canada Customs and Immigration, the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
In the meantime, Toronto task force officers are trying to obtain the licence plates from traffic on a toll highway north of Cecilia's home around 8 a.m. the morning she went missing. Police believe the route may be linked to a phone call made from a pay phone to Cecilia's parents, Raymond Zhang and Sherry Xu around that time.
Other than that phone call, Cecilia's parents and the police say they haven't had any communication with her abductors.
The task force has received about 1,100 tips from the public and the case has been featured on the popular U.S. TV crime program, America's Most Wanted. Anyone with information is still urged to call the Cecilia Toronto police task force at (416) 808-8390, or the Chinese hotline at (416) 808-3681.
A reward for Cecilia's safe return stands at $115,000.

Cecilia's family increases reward for abducted girl
Last Updated Fri, 23 Jan 2004 7:58:36
TORONTO - The parents of a girl kidnapped three months ago from her Toronto home say they're willing to remortgage their house to pay for a tip leading to her safe return.
Cecilia Zhang, 9, was taken from her bed in the middle of the night.
Police aren't certain what the motive was, but they now doubt it was money. No ransom demands have been made.
* BACKGROUNDER: Cecilia's abduction
Sgt. Jim Muscat
"This particular investigation right now is that of a classic mystery," said Toronto police Sgt. Jim Muscat. Since Cecilia's disappearance in October, investigators have received more than 2,000 calls. But they have no fresh leads, he said.
Until Thursday, the reward was $165,000. But several large donations totalling $100,000 were withdrawn at midnight Wednesday, as the Chinese New Year began.
Officials say those donations had always been pegged to expire Jan. 22 – largely as a way to encourage people to come forward with information as soon as possible.
* FROM DEC. 23, 2003: Police urge Cecilia's captors to deliver ransom demands
Right now, about $65,000 remains in a bank account ready to be paid to tipsters. But on Thursday, the girl's father was handing out new posters offering $200,000. Raymond Zhang said he's willing to refinance his mortgage to pay for the new reward himself.

Thanks for the update Cass. I was hoping that the info in here would have just been to "bump" this to the top again. Most likely it's Cecila, poor child. Prayers to her parents, nothing worse than that.

Even if it is not her, at least the police are with her parents to help with what they must be going through...terror but also a sense of closure if it is her

Presse Canadienne/Canadian Press/Broadcast News
Sunday, March 28, 2004

TORONTO -- Police are refusing to comment on the possibility that the body of a young girl found in a ravine on Saturday, might be that of Cecelia Zhang, who has been missing for five months.
The nine-year-old girl was kidnapped at her home in October. Police searched for her both in Canada and in Asia without success.
Peel Regional Police are investigating after human remains were found in a wooded Mississauga ravine on Saturday.
Police say a hiker came upon the remains Saturday, behind a church.
Constable Craig Platt says they are working to figure out who the young girl is -- and how she died.
Sources say it appears the remains had been in the ravine for a long time.
Homicide detectives are working with the coroner's office to identify the body and the circumstances of the death.
No other details were immediately released.

TORONTO -- Police are working with a coroner today to identify the remains of a young girl found in a wooded ravine in Mississauga, west of Toronto.
Peel Regional Police say a hiker came upon the remains yesterday behind a church.
Constable Craig Platt says they are working to figure out who the young girl is -- and how she died.
Sources say it appears the remains had been in the ravine for a long time.
Police wouldn't comment on the possibility that the remains could be those of nine-year-old Cecilia Zhang.
She was taken from her parents' Toronto home in October.
The Toronto Police Service forensics unit has been called in to assist Peel police.
The remains have been sent to Toronto's Centre for Forensic Sciences.

Cecila's parents were in the midst of organizing a 10th birthday party for their little girl for this Tuesday with the community and Cecila's school & teachers.
Isn't it ironic that she came home to them 3 days before? They are still planning on marking this day ~ I am so sorry Cecilia was found dead, but I am happy she was found. - not knowing had to be way worse.

I agree, the not knowing would make me go insane. Never any closure, nightmares... Geesh, this is maddening 
My heart & prayers go out to her family. Their little angel in heaven will see them again one day. How sad.

It was to be a day commemorating the 10th birthday of a bright and loving child, but instead of birthday cards and candles the home of slain schoolgirl Cecilia Zhang was turned Tuesday into a shrine honouring her memory.
http://www.canada.com/national/natio...c-e8369d6099da
Forensic investigators combing the area where Cecilia Zhang's remains were found are expected to finish their work today. The task of hunting for her killer or killers is now in the hands of a joint task force led by Peel Region police.

A community that came together in its fear is united once again in sorrow. The discovery of Cecilia Zhang's remains in a wooded area in Mississauga on the weekend, more than five months after she disappeared, dashed all remaining hopes that the 9-year-old would return safely to her family

A teary-eyed Peel police Chief Noel Catney promised the new 20-officer task force will catch whoever killed Cecilia Zhang. But police revealed little of what they're doing or whether the investigation has direction.

Only skeletal remains of 9-year-old Cecilia Zhang have been found — according to police statements.
Police aren't saying what they found in a Mississauga wooded area, along with her remains, to revive an investigation that began six months ago when she disappeared from her parents' home.
http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/Con...l=968793972154
The new lead officer in the investigation into the abduction and murder of Cecilia Zhang says he's confident police will find the nine-year-old's killer.
"This is absolutely a solvable crime," Peel Region police Insp. Frank Roselli said.
