York Regional Police's homicide unit took over the investigation of Fang Lin who has not been seen since April 21. They are concerned that the woman, known to be a high stakes gambler as well as a moneylender, may have met with foul play.
And nearly eight weeks after her disappearance, police leads have dried up.

*snippet.
Lin, who was not employed, was known to frequent casinos in Ontario and Quebec, often in the VIP areas where high-stakes wagers took place. Police said she had money from a previous accident settlement.Lin is described as Chinese, with a light complexion, five feet three inches, 119 pounds. She has shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. When last seen she was wearing a black T-shirt, black sweater and black skirt.
 
I wish I knew what happened to this woman. I have so much in common with her. I too had a bad car accident that left me with a disability and having to live on a disability pension while raising a teen. I as well have had people come into my life who had tried and some have succeeded in exploiting me.

Fang left her vehicle at the shuttle spot that would take her too Casino Rama where she would enjoy the VIP Lounge. She had been known to lend cash amounts to other high roller gamblers, but was not known to be the loan shark type. Did someone borrow a large cash amount and then trouble brewed when she tried to collect and the perp did away with her?

Did the the perp possibly pick her up at the shuttle drop off and she got into his vehicle thus no evidence of foul play found in her vehicle?

thank you for posting this Kate. Here is a blurb from the article from the Toronto Star.

Her $80,000 purple Porsche Cayenne was found two days later abandoned in a parking lot on Highway 7 east of Bayview Ave. at Valleymede Dr. She left behind a 14-year-old son.
“I am very worried,” Ruo Zhao Wei, 40, said through an interpreter at a news conference in Aurora.
Police are worried too because there has been no contact with her husband, son or her brother in China. Her purse is missing, but there has been no activity in her bank accounts or credit cards.

*snippet Political correctness got in the way again, when instead of describing her real profession it was stated that she had ‘an unconventional job’ and ‘lend money to (high-stakes gamblers) when someone fell short’. So she was a loan shark, ok. Yet again the politically correct language was needed to insist that ‘she does not fit the stereotype of a heartless loan shark.’ So she was a loanshark with a heart of gold who charged obscenely high rated of interest practicing new card counting systems and scoping for customers as police finally acknowledged.
What would happen if she wasn’t paid back what was owed? Did she collect in person, wearing one of her many $25,000 Rolex watches? Triads involved? Why is Canada balking at giving her brother a visa to come and help look for her? Is he a known organized crime figure? When she was approved for the immigration visa, did she put down loanshark as her profession?
She died in the line of duty or a work related accident. The moral of the story is, if you chose to be a casino loan shark or drug dealer then getting kidnapped and murdered are the dangers you accept in order to have enough money to buy that purple Porsche and wear a different Rolex each day.
If you know what happen to her, call her son so he can give her a proper burial.

ONTARIO COLD CASE: Sleuth from Nova Scotia finds kindred spirit in missing Ontario mom
"Liz Francis is a web sleuth.
Since suffering a car crash that claimed the life of her friend, who was driving, she has suffered from debilitating injury and PTSD.
As a result, Francis (not her real name) now spends much of her time at her Nova Scotia home.
To pass the time she began sleuthing cold cases online."

"Some of her posts – like the case of Lachlan Cranswick, the Australian scientist found in the Ottawa River in 2010 – can garner as many as 100,000 hits and hundreds of replies.

Others attract far few, like the case of Markham’s Fang Lin.

"It’s almost like everyone forgot about her and aren’t interested in finding her anymore,” she said.
It was in 2015 when Francis’ interest in Lin became a fascination of sorts, the 54-year-old eventually posting details online."

''Lin, a blackjack and baccarat player, was well known at the exclusive VIP sections of casinos in Niagara Falls and Quebec – Fallsview, Casino Rama and Casino de Montreal.

She wore expensive clothes, jewelry and shopped in high-end fashion boutiques''.

''Wei said she seemed “fine” and “normal” in the lead-up to her disappearance.

Furthermore, there was no sign of a struggle and, while her purse was never found, her bank, credit cards and cellphone were not used beyond the time of her disappearance.

Francis believes, at this point in the investigation, the best hope for justice remain sleuths.

But Lin’s case is particularly difficult though, she believes, considering there are so few people who appear interested in her fate.

“Usually in (online sleuthing) threads there are verified insiders,” she said. “Family members, former police officers, children, people that lived in the same building. Here, there is no one.”
