I guess this answers our question re “ why homocide unit investigates a missing person”. Must be standard practice for YRP.
His white Mercedes found. No mention of evidence found in car. I wonder if security camera caught the black jeep, or eye witness.

''York Regional Police Const. Kevin Nebrija told CP24 in an interview that Puryga was due for a work meeting in the area and said he works in the "industry of building armoured vehicles."

''While this is the third suspicious disappearance(opens in a new tab) York Regional Police's homicide unit has been involved in over the last few weeks(opens in a new tab), Nebrija said there is no indication that any of these cases are connected.

Yuk-Ying Anita Mui(opens in a new tab), a 56-year-old woman from Markham, disappeared under circumstances on Aug. 9, and Ying Zhang(opens in a new tab), a 57-year-old woman also from Markham, was last seen on July 25.

Whiskey Tango...I think the footage of jeep is security cams.

 

[AddyFinch]

Not much in that area except hiking, horses and beautiful $$$ houses. Security camera would have to be from place of business or a house. And houses are mostly estate lots so driveway is a bit in from main road. I wonder how much traffic at that time would be on those concession roads?

 

[tarabull]

Any boarded up????...most of those places have video surveillance fwiw

ETA: how about uninhabited?

 

[AddyFinch]

Hmmm, I’m not sure about boarded up, but there are a few for sale. Lots of big ponds/ little lakes. An old hiking trail, lots of trees and mini forested areas with sprawling homes, horse farms. There are a few armoured vehicle manufacturing companies in that general area, but I haven’t a clue exactly where, they might be small and exclusive, so not recognizable as a factory per se. Many driveways with gates, so cameras could be located there. Very strange place for him to be “on side of road waiting for someone”. Possibly forced off road and abducted

 

[AddyFinch]

Re the licence plate ….I wonder what they mean by” plate registered to non existent business”? Never heard of this. Don’t you have to register the car properly if business is no longer? Is it something new? Was the business ever a business in the past? Is it a stolen plate, altered plate, fake plate? Or is owner guilty of a Provincial Act Violation of improper registration? Would this make this suspect car even more suspicious?
Could his car have broken down and while he was walking on road, been hit and knocked down into ditch? Did LE search area?

 

[AddyFinch]

Another explanation of licence plate query is, plate is registered to the car, but business is no longer in operation. Companies can dissolve but along as plate is registered to that car and an address, all is ok. Unknown if that car was coming out of that driveway on Concession 7, or simply turning around. Possibly cameras were affixed to the query gatehouse or from that vehicle?

And ANOTHER missing person. This is getting out of hand.

And ANOTHER missing person. This is getting out of hand.

I agree, and never realized how many until I goggled it.

 

[branmuffin]

I'm wondering if someone has tried to pressure Puryga to divert armoured vehicles to Russia since they are very short on such items.
