本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛When the parents of Cecilia Zhang put her to bed Sunday night, they couldn’t have guessed the terror that awaited them by the time the sun rose the next morning. When her parents went into her room on Whitehorn Crescent at 8:27am Monday, they couldn’t find her. Her frantic mom and dad phoned police, who made a chilling discovery. Someone had been inside the house. And it appears they took the child with them.
Police searched laboriously throughout the day before finally scaling door to door operations in the late hours. They will continue their fine comb of the 404-Finch area neighbourhood, however, desperately looking for the abducted girl.
Sgt. Jim Muscat still believes the story will have a happy ending.
“We are very optimistic that we'll be able to find Cecilia alive,” Muscat said Monday night. “We want to find her and we want her to be safe and sound and we want to bring her back to her family. Of course every member of the Toronto police service is going to be even more and more concerned the longer this goes. We have officers patrolling and combing and searching throughout this area, and so we want to assure the community that we're here, that we're doing whatever it takes to bring this investigation to a positive resolution and that is bringing Cecilia back home.”
Late Monday, police were seen searching a waste transfer site at Victoria Park and McNicoll and leaving the area with four garbage bags. There's no word yet on what was in the bags, and police have also asked for assistance from the York Region Police helicopter to aid in their search. So far, however, not much is known.
What is known is that Cecilia never turned up at her school. And an Ontario-wide Amber Alert has been issued, as authorities ask anyone who sees her or finds any clue to her whereabouts to call a special hotline, at (416) 808-8390.
Police won’t confirm reports of a broken window at the girl's home, but pictures clearly show a dislodged screen on one of the floors. “It looks like this house may have been entered during the night, that’s all I’m going to say,” a cautious Detective Sgt. Dave Perry told reporters. “We do have evidence of foul play in the house.” Investigators confirm the child isn’t the kind to run away.
And late Monday came a new revelation - there was a basement apartment in the home which housed college students. And all the people who live there have been questioned.
So far, police are stymied, unable to confirm what Cecilia was wearing when she disappeared, and unwilling to say what evidence they do have.
The girls’ parents have been taken away to another location, where they’re being updated on the progress of the case.
The child, who attends grade 4 at Seneca Hill Public School, is described as:
4’11”,
70 lbs.,
Shoulder length brown hair, with blonde highlights,
Brown eyes,
Good teeth.
She speaks excellent English.
Police have set up a temporary command post on the scene, and they’re begging for leads. Because the more time that passes, the colder the trail grows.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
