Case Story |

Jogger Discovers Child's Remains |
|
| |
A jogger running in a wooded area of Mississauga, Ontario last March 28th, made a sad and grisly discovery - the skeletal remains of a child. He immediately contacted the Peel Regional Police, who raced to the scene. They knew that the police in nearby Toronto had been hunting for an abducted little girl, Cecilia Zhang. Once Peel Police arrived at the scene, they confirmed the jogger's discovery and contacted the Toronto Police Service Homicide Detectives.
Toronto Police Service had been working the case of Cecilia Zhang's abduction for more than five months. For the investigators, the jogger's discovery was the result they had feared the most. In the days after the discovery, they confirmed the information they least wanted to get - the remains were of Cecilia Zhang and she had been murdered. Toronto police began a homicide investigation. |

Authorities say Cecilia was last seen by her parents when she went to bed Sunday night at around 10 pm on October 19, 2003. Her disappearance was not noticed until Monday morning shortly before 8:30 am when her parents went to wake her up for school. Police believe one or more persons entered her home through the kitchen window. The window had been damaged and the screen pried open. Police say the abductors went to Cecilia's bedroom, and then made their escape with her through a side door.

Was Cecilia Abducted For Ransom? |
|
| |
Police are investigating the theory that the abductors meant to ransom the young girl for money from her parents, but have not ruled anything out in Cecilia's disappearance.
Shortly before her parents discovered her missing, there were two hang-up phone calls to the Zhang house. Police have traced the calls to payphones on the western outskirts of Toronto. The first was located at a Tim Horton's fast food restaurant at the corner of Airport Road and Intermodal Drive in Brampton, Ontario. The second was about six miles away at the Maple Lodge Farms near Steeles Avenue and Winston Churchill Boulevard, also in Brampton. Police do not know if the kidnappers made these calls, but they would very much like to hear from somebody who saw something at these intersections on the day of the abduction. |
