Police confirm remains of Cecilia Zhang
I am not sure how many of you in the states heard about this.
Some people are very sick in the head.
Quote:
MISSISSAUGA, ONT. - Police confirmed Sunday that the human remains found in a wooded ravine west of Toronto are those of nine-year-old Cecilia Zhang, who went missing last October.
The remains were spotted purely by chance by a hiker behind Mississauga's Church of the Croatian Martyrs at 1:45 p.m. Saturday, police said.
Police said Zhang's remains had been at the site for some time, but refused to provide further details, such as the cause of death, because the case has now become a homicide investigation.
Peel Regional Police Insp. Richard De Facendis, told reporters that the crime scene has been sealed off and various police forces will cooperate in what is sure to be an exhaustive and challenging search of the wooded area.
Toronto Police Chief Julian Fantino responded to the tragic news saying Zhang's family needs time and space to grieve for their daughter.
Toronto Mayor David Miller also expressed his condolences to the Zhang family saying, "the hearts of everyone in this city are with Cecilia's family tonight."
Earlier in the day, Toronto police sent officers and a religious minister to visit the girl's family to offer them support in dealing with the media.
Zhang was last seen asleep in her family's Toronto home last Oct. 19, and police believe she was abducted by an intruder.
Cecilia would have turned 10 on Tuesday.
