Yinghui Zhu was last seen in the early hours of a cold winter morning on Tuesday, January 7, 2014, at about 12:20 a.m. at her family’s restaurant in Scarborough near Sheppard Avenue East and Brimley Road. She was expected to return the next day to open the restaurant but never showed up, and her absence was immediately out of character.

At the time she disappeared Zhu was described as Asian, slender, five feet four inches tall and about 110 pounds, with short black hair with red highlights. She was wearing a black waist-length jacket, a red silk shirt, blue jeans and brown boots when last seen. The Toronto Police Service opened an investigation and the case has remained active.

Anyone who knew Yinghui Zhu, her routines, or who was in the Scarborough area that night is asked to come forward with information.
