York Regional Police say they are deploying "all available resources” as they search a parcel of farmland in Stouffville for a missing Markham woman who disappeared under suspicious circumstances on Friday.
Yuk-Ying Anita Mui, a 56-year-old Toronto- area real estate agent, was reported missing on Aug. 9 and homicide detectives are leading an investigation into her whereabouts.
On Tuesday afternoon, days after Mui was last seen, investigators said they are now searching farmland on Vandorf Side Road in Stouffville where Mui was scheduled to visit on Friday.
Speaking to reporters at a command post in the area, Const. Lisa Moskaluk said investigators are still working to piece together a timeline of her whereabouts on Friday.
“We are actively searching any and all leads as they become available and through investigation we have identified this area as one of the locations that Mui was due to visit on Friday,” Moskaluk said.
“As a result, we have deployed all available resources to thoroughly conduct a search for any evidence that Mui was here or to further her whereabouts.”
Mui’s family said they last saw her at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Friday morning when she left her home in the area of Baycliffe Road and Warden Avenue. They spoke to her again just over an hour later, but have not seen or heard from her since, police said.
