Its weird, the headline from the global news link isn't what is showing in my post FWIW, noting as they actually finally called her a dr, but yet not...

Omg, I wasn’t too far off the mark, then.
Wonder if it kidnapping for ransom, or for something personal?
I hope they can find her!

Looking at the accused, there is just a criminal underworld feel to him, I’m wondering if this isn’t gang related, and perhaps she hadn’t been willing to play ball with paying up to the local gangs. JMO

She was assaulted inside the building in her place of business!

Ying Zhang is an acupuncturist.

An assistant to a lawyer with an office down the hall heard screaming coming from Ying Zhang’s office.

—
So, heard screaming but didn’t call police, I guess ?!
I had assumed there would be others working in the Holibalance clinic, but I guess not? Just Dr. Zhang?
I am not very hopeful she is alive…

If she was attacked inside her office during business hours, how was she taken out of the building??

In the green bin and white ford van?

Yes, but how did she get from the building to the van in the middle of the work day without anyone noticing?

The suspect being seen with a green bin makes me fearful of a bad outcome. I hope I'm wrong. Kawartha Lakes has quite a few large bodies of water and is generally rural/lots of wooded area. I don't believe this is gang-related, she appears to be quite proficient and professional, not one too dabble in that sort of business. Perhaps a former disgruntled former patient? A family dispute? Or maybe something financial... All MOO. I hope she is found safe.

There is information that the suspect vehicle travelled to the Village of Kirkfield, in the City of Kawartha Lakes, on the afternoon of July 25,” YRP said in a news release issued Monday.

Dickson said police haven’t confirmed any relationship between Zhang and the accused at this time, but they do believe the incident was targeted.

Of course. My lame brain was reading the word "bin" as "van." The picture jolted the wires in my head back in place. Thanks.
