A missing Canadian traveling in Asia was last known to be in Hong Kong and her family last heard from her on November 10th 2008. She has not been heard from since and did not return on her flight on December 15th. Her family and friends fear the worst.

Her boyfriend is traveling there tommorow to try and help.

The link above is to a facebook page with pictures and information about Ani.

I have copied the above post to the Discussion Forum on local community website www.lamma.com.hk It's a cosmopolitan island hangout with lots of expats - if she spent much time in HK there's a good chance she would have gone to Lamma. Anyway, worth a try...

Hong Kong is very small in terms of expat areas, what an absolutely bizzare dissapearance...it's village like IMO in HK-I lived there 10 years...nobody dissapears if they are in TST , HK island, you're bumping into expats every single day, everyone is on facebook there. Have searches been done on Lantau or other places off the beaten track? IMO this person is not wandering around the streets of HK as she would have been spotted by now. Tourists don't have much reason to go beyond Mongkok-Central-Causeway Bay. Lamma is small. if she liked hiking, then that might suggest searches are done on the walk routes advertised locally? If she stayed at mirador or chungking, then after 11pm at night one must sign on entering the buildings-or did when I stayed there in August-(some extremely shady characters living within those buildings I have to say-did not feel safe there late in the evenings)... so...probably if she stayed there, she'd have signed in, likewise pubs...also poss check every guesthouse...they remember faces.

The Sunday edition, (4 Jan.), of the SCMP had a half-page article dedicated to this woman and the plight of 'missing foreigners' here in HK.

Her situation is clearly being given a lot of attention.

Why anyone with money, as she apparently had, would choose to stay at Chunking Mansions is beyond me.

I can think of a million and one reasons why someone would want to stay there, especially someone with cash on hip!
