Missing Student [UIUC]: YingYing Zhang
Hi everyone,
I usually don’t make posts like this, and I know I don’t have a huge following, but so many people from my university have been posting about this for a few weeks now, so I figured I should help spread the word as well.
To quickly summarize:
YingYing Zhang is a visiting scholar to The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from China, studying in the College of Agriculture, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences [ACES].
Based on current video evidence that has been collected, a white male approached her in what seems to be a black Saturn Astra four-door hatchback, pretending to be a police officer. She got into the car, and has disappeared ever since.
She was last seen in Urbana, Illinois on June 9th, 2017.
The FBI has classified this as a kidnapping and is currently working with the UIUC police department and school officials. They are offering a reward up to $10,000 if anyone is able to give information that can help find her.

If you know of any information, please let the FBI or the UIUC police department know ASAP. Or if you can help spread the word, that works as well. I personally do not know her, but a lot of people in the UIUC community and her family are very concerned for her safety, and she may not even be in Illinois at this point. My thoughts go out to her loved ones, and I hope she will be found soon!
