Summary

On June 9, 2017 a visiting Chinese scholar at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign was waiting for a bus in broad daylight when a car stops at the bus stop, right next to her. Instead of waiting for the bus any longer, the scholar gets in the car. She would never be seen again. This is the story Yingying Zhang.
