Police yesterday were seeking the public’s assistance in locating a man wanted in the connection with the mysterious disappearance of a 36-year-old Markham woman. Investigators with the York Regional Police Homicide Unit said Ying Chun (Annie) Li was last seen by her family in mid-June in the area of Denison Street and

Markham Road. Li has not been in contact with her family, and has not returned home. As a result of their investigations police said yesterday they have reason to believe that Li is deceased.

Still in GTA On Tuesday, an arrest warrant for manslaughter was issued for Jiarui (Jerry) Tang, 21, of Toronto. Investigators believe Tang frequents the Chinatown area of

Toronto and he was believed to be still within the GTA. Annie Li was last seen by her family June 12. On July 6 the police service’s homicide unit took over the investigation, deeming her disappearance suspicious, with the possibility foul play was involved. Police released information about the places she often attends, including the area of Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue and Fairview Mall in Toronto.

A number of images were garnered by the media, including one of her leaving the Yu Garden restaurant at Bayview Avenue and Hwy. 7, followed by an unknown male June 12 at 6:30 to 7:15 p.m. Li’s brother, Jeff, told the Chinese language Sing Tao newspaper he couldn’t focus on work knowing his sister’s whereabouts were unaccounted for. He said his senior citizen father was riding his bicycle around the city looking for his daughter.
