Canadian Teen Missing for 4 days and Counting, Possibly Abducted, How to Help the Search INSIDE
**UPDATE: MICHELLE HAS MADE CONTACT, AND IS SAFE. Thank you all for your efforts and genuine concern. Article: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2012/04/22/toronto-teen-michelle-yu-contacts-family.html** **http://www.citytv.com/toronto/citynews/news/local/article/201979--missing-teen-michelle-yu-located-in-b-c** **FindMichelleYu's Status:** Thank-you for joining us this past week in prayer and in action. This has been a difficult time for the Yu family and they have been overwhelmed by all the support and love they have received. We are ecstatic to let you know that contact has been made with Michelle. She is safe. The family requests that you respect their privacy at this time. Thank you again for all your help. *** On Tuesday April 17th, [Michelle Yu](https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/537960_399529360068399_398192830202052_1378154_836722935_n.jpg), a grade 12 Toronto student went missing. She was last seen in person at 2:30pm at York Mills Station and on camera at 6pm in downtown Toronto. She was on her way to meeting a friend and attending a girl guides meeting at 3pm before communication was promptly cut off. None of her family or friends have heard from her since. Here are the important details: 1. It is uncharacteristic of her to run away. Her family and close friends do not believe this is likely. There were no major conflicts or disagreements in the family - and close friends have attested to this. 2. At 6pm on Tuesday, a camera captured her image at a bank at Bay and Queen St (downtown Toronto), where she had withdrawn money. This was not her usual bank and was out of the way of her planned route. 3. Her phone has been off since 3pm on Tuesday the 17th. 4. She has a heart condition that requires daily medication, which she is currently without because it is at home. Considering the circumstances (especially her heart condition), this is a VERY URGENT situation. At the moment, **police are NOT organizing ground searches**, and there are only a few minutes of local news coverage every night about this. This is why we NEED the internet to help spread her image, so that citizens can fill the void and effectively be this constant search party. It has been 4 days, and she could be anywhere in Canada by now if she has been abducted, so we have to inform people in Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Hamilton, Halifax, London, EVERYWHERE, in order to stand a chance. These first few days are crucial and may very well be the difference in a life or death situation. *** ***What can you do?*** **1. Upvote this, then go on Facebook and "share" this page:** **https://www.facebook.com/FindMichelleYu** (Press the gear icon on the top right, and it will present to you a menu option to "Share" to your timeline) Though liking the page will give you updates on the situation, the most important thing you can do to help is **"sharing" the page on your facebook timeline.** This will spread her image to **new social networks**. Currently, her image is being passed through networks of mutual friends and mutual-mutual friends. However, we need **strangers** - people that are not closely connected to Michelle's friends' networks - to **really spread awareness and have the "virality" take off.** **This is why reddit may actually be *the* most important resource right now.** If you have not seen this story in your fb newsfeed recently, you actually have the greatest ability to help her. More degrees of separation = More unique people and more exposure, the better chance we have of finding Michelle. Please upvote and "share" the linked facebook page. Also **consider copy and pasting this message** when publishing the "Share? to directly provide some context.
