Looking for a missing Chinese visiting scholar from UIUC. Please

We are asking for your help in our search for a fellow member of our campus community who is missing. Yingying Zhang is a 26-year-old visiting scholar from Urbana, and her friends and family have not heard from her since Friday afternoon. Attempts to contact her by phone and at her residence have been unsuccessful.

We do not know whether Ms. Zhang is in danger, but the University of Illinois Police Department is doing everything it can to work toward her safe return. If anyone has information about where Ms. Zhang might be, please let us know. Even small pieces of information may help tremendously.

You can view a picture of Ms. Zhang by following this link: http://illinois.edu/lb/article/2668/101121
If you have any information, please call 911 or the University of Illinois Police Department at 217-333-1216. You may also email non-emergency information to [e-mail].

We will issue updates via social media and email if there are any significant developments in our search. Our campus community is stronger when we look out for each other, and we thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Jeff Christensen
