Are there any proofs of a connection between these ladies, or is it only speculations due to the fact that they are females, of Chinese origin, and about the same age?
Would you/your friend have made the same claims/speculations if they had been three blond, French-speaking women in their 50s?
No, I see no connections between them in fact, and indeed no evidence of any similarity in the nature of their disappearances.
Poor Ying Zhang, an acupuncturist, was attacked at her clinic, which happened to be in Markham. Her alleged killer - from East Gwillimbury, far north of Markham - has been arrested. IMO, she was targetted for some personal reason, which was unlikely to have anything to do with real estate.
Police haven't uttered a word about lawyer Isabella Dan in well over a year. IMO, that means they have evidence that her disappearance was not of 'public interest'. IMO, it's very unlikely they suspect she was murdered, or it would have been in the news.
In this case, although Ying Mui happens to live in Markham, her brokerage is in Richmond Hill, and she shows listings all over. Police behaviour at this moment is revealing they suspect she may have been attacked while showing a listing.
Female real estate agents are particularly vulnerable to stranger attacks. There was a case last year in New Zealand I followed, the victim agent was Chinese, because the man who killed her was Chinese and she spoke his language.
There are actual murders and shootings of Asian men all over TO that are very likely to be linked because they belong to gangs. Somehow, that isn't of interest, just allegations of some type of middle-aged female gang.
JMO
And how unusual that they don't know for sure if she went there... It must be empty otherwise at least the owners/occupants would know if she had been there. I don't know any female real estate agents who go to empty properties in rural areas by themselves.
A neighbor said a couple people came asking her about that place a couple weeks ago...fwiw
cued up to view here:
I was speculating![bbm]
what? where are these allegations??
I followed that case and commented on the now-deleted thread, that my interpretation of police statements and the complete police non-action, indicated that they didn't believe that person had been abducted or anything like that. The case wasn't investigated by homicide detectives, much less assigned to a homicide/major crimes unit. Plus that case was all about social media, friends/family talking to the media - whereas in this case, no one is talking to the media, as is normal for homicide investigations.Remember the DaSilva gal, funeral director who went missing from Brantford this past July. She was missing for five days and found in a First Nations cemetery. Could this be a similar reason? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitc...-missing-brantford-woodstock-search-1.7259379
I just don't see the connection. That woman didn't disappear or cause the disappearance of anyone.^^agree completely. So many avenues of thought on this, but I’m sure my posts would be pulled even though they would be stated purely be from an informative discussion angle.

Seems to be an increase in this type of activity of late, and YRP has been uber busy this last week with other crimes!
Yes, I know old Ontario from my childhood. We were actually probably the despised 'city folk' who came up to visit my grandparents with fancy cars and money to waste on putting in bathrooms to replace the perfectly good outhouse! Now I'm out west and it's those Albertans cutting down all the trees and building expensive houses with garages for their Ford trucks. We drive little compact cars, they go to the little grocery store in a massive shiny truck! But then there's also people from Surrey and even Toronto, they made a killing selling their home and now they come out here, driving up the prices so a local kid can't possibly buy a home to raise a family...(I'm joking/not joking).I don't know the answers, maybe it's as simple as the fake media's spin. Maybe they're the ones who like to "connect". In these cases I think it's because of the location of the scams. It. could be racism (although I don't personally think so), or the simple fact that this area was historically small town Ontario, filled with white generational Canadians,hockey, church and the weekend. (They were great towns at one time ). An ethnic group bought up land, built houses and dramatically changed the landscape. Old timers moved out and maybe the ones that didn't are angry at what the towns have become and are quick to label a reason or persons responsible?? Maybe they want to believe that these newcomers attract this type of "business". And maybe they do?
A smart person always tells me" follow the money", and they are correct. I don't know how people get roped into mortgage scams, (desperate I guess), but at the end of the day, the person who got duped wants his money back or the person responsible. So in all cases, we need to find a money trail and work backwards.
So LE was so hot to trot to get investigative teams out there for past two days and now nothing? Or are they not reporting? It's like the dead bodies turning up... we hear the announcement, then hear "waiting to notify next of kin" or next of kin notified" but public hears absolutely nothing more.
I understand FOI very well, but the public should have a closure!!! LOL
...... and just as a side note..... the Sherman murders also had an element of real estate involvement!
