The body of a 9-year-old girl who had been missing since October was identified Sunday, police said, tragically ending a disappearance that had gained international help and media attention. A hiker found the remains of Cecilia Zhang in a ravine just west of Toronto on Saturday as the child's parents planned a birthday party for her; she would have turned 10 on Tuesday. Police released few details, simply saying they had now launched a homicide investigation into what had previously been a kidnapping case. The case garnered international media attention, including authorities in China working with the Toronto police to help find Cecilia, and attention from the U.S. television show America's Most Wanted to generate more tips. Described as an avid reader and budding pianist, Cecilia was discovered missing the morning of Oct. 20 when her mother went into her bedroom to wake her for school. A broken screen window at the rear of the top floor of the two-story home in north Toronto suggested an abduction of the girl. Investigators soon ruled out that the abduction was the random act of a predator, and said that the possibility Cecilia was kidnapped for profit was one of the ''themes'' they were exploring. Police also kept in touch with the Chinese Consulate about the investigation. www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/

Stacey Stapleton A bullet-riddled body believed to be that of a Canadian woman who vanished in New York last week was found yesterday in a Queens Dumpster, a police source said. Stacey Stapleton, 27, flew into LaGuardia Airport from Detroit Friday morning and hopped in a cab, bound for the Cambria Heights home of her fiancé's parents. She never made it. The woman found yesterday was clad only in bra and underpants when a private sanitation worker spotted her amid the trash in his truck's hopper after he emptied a garbage bin about 8:30 a.m., cops said. "I thought she was a mannequin," said the worker, who identified himself only as James. "She looked like she died a horrible death. She had that look of terror on her face." The woman, shot several times in the chest, was found after James emptied trash behind a Key Food store on 73rd Ave. in Oakland Gardens, police said. Stapleton's fiancé, who remains in Canada and has not been identified, reported her missing to police in New York and Canada on Saturday morning. He told cops Stapleton called him from the cab to say she was riding around Queens, looking for his parents' home, sources said. The fiancé also said Stapleton had never been to New York before, but a high-ranking police official said she once lived in Hollis, Queens. Police were looking into why Stapleton recently took a series of short plane trips. www.nydailynews.com/front/story/192302p-166135c.html

Quebec provincial police believe they have discovered the body of an Ottawa woman reported missing 10 days ago, and have not ruled out foul play.
Susie Boyd, 43, did not return home from an afternoon bike ride on June 13.
A National Capital Commission officer discovered the body Wednesday evening near Fortune Lake in the Gatineau Park town of Chelsea. The road leading to the lake has since been secured by MRC des Collines police, who are working with the Surete du Quebec and Ottawa police.
Results of today's autopsy, which will confirm the woman's identity and determine whether foul play was involved in her death, are expected today.
Marc Ippersiel, spokesman for Surete du Quebec, said investigators will scour the scene for clues if and when Mrs. Boyd's death is deemed suspicious.
The avid cyclist was reported missing from her McKellar Park home on June 15, where she lives with her husband, Gary, and her her two sons, Derek 17, and Chris, 14.
Through media, police sought the public's help in finding her after exhausting all their leads -- with friends and relatives, hospitals, shelters, Canada customs and U.S. authorities -- but no one from the public came forth with information.
Mr. Boyd became more concerned, calling Ottawa police investigators several times a day. Now, more than a week and a half into the investigation, he is still hanging on to any possibility the body is not that of his wife. He says he will remain hopeful until the autopsy is conclusive.
Mr. Boyd said he and his wife are well acquainted with the trails in Gatineau Park. "It's a place en route to a place that she liked to go. We're hoping it's not her."
Both public servants, the Boyds and their children are known to be friendly, well-educated and athletic.
On Tuesday, Ottawa police Det.-Const. Paul McIntyre said Mrs. Boyd's tendency to go on day-long excursions and spend the night with friends kept the family from becoming immediately suspicious.
While Mrs. Boyd was known to enjoy cycling in the park, Det.-Const. McIntyre said Ottawa police did not search the 363-square-kilometre park because it is not in their jurisdiction.
After meeting with investigators yesterday, Sgt. Ippersiel said Mrs. Boyd was discovered "on the side of the lake," fully clothed, but her bicycle was not found. He would not say whether she sustained trauma to her body.
A press release sent yesterday from MRC des Collines police said the body was at "an advanced state of decomposition."
Asked if there is any concern related to reports of a naked man who has been stalking joggers and cyclists in Gatineau Park -- near the area where police discovered Mrs. Boyd's body -- he said "no."
"If it is a homicide, then we will have an investigation," he said, adding "everything shows" that the body could be that of Mrs. Boyd.
Mrs. Boyd is described as five feet tall, of Korean origin, with brown, shoulder-length hair, brown eyes and a slim build. She typically wears glasses, and when she was last seen she was wearing a lime-green bicycle helmet and carrying a black purse. Her bicycle is described as a blue racing-style road bike.
Mrs. Boyd speaks English, French and some Korean.

[glow=red,2,300]Quebec teen missing for 3 years turns up safe[/glow] A 38-year-old man who sheltered a missing Quebec teen for the past three years says he and the 17-year-old girl are just friends.
The man, who gave media interviews as long as he wasn't identified, said he didn't know Julie Bureau was a minor when he found her hitchhiking and hungry.
Officials say the girl does not appear to have been held against her will, nor had she been involved in drugs, prostitution or crime.
The man, who is a single father of a young boy, took Bureau in and she stayed in his Beauceville home until she was spotted at a flea market last weekend.
Beauceville is less than 100 kilometres from her family home in Milan.
The man said he was just friends with the teen.
Bureau was 14 when she walked away from a McDonald's in the Eastern Townships where she had been with friends. She had not been heard from since.
An extensive search turned up no trace of the girl, but the family never gave up hope.
Police knocked at their door at 4 a.m. Sunday, the birthday of her father Michel, to tell them she had been located.
Bureau has yet to rejoin her family, as child-care officials are evaluating her relationships.
Officials say the vast majority of missing children are runaways, but few stay away so long without contacting family or friends.

Two Vancouver students who had been missing for six days were found dead Tuesday near a rail line at Lions Bay on the Sea to Sky Highway. But police would not say what caused the deaths of Rachel Adams, 23, a Langara College student, and her ex-boyfriend Mark Rempel, 28, who was doing a master's degree in psychology at the University of B.C. They had not drowned, had not been hit by a train, and no weapon was found, said Sgt. Colin Worth of the Squamish RCMP. He said many answers won't be known until after an autopsy in coming days. In the meantime, countless questions remain not only for police, but for family and friends as well. "We have been informed by the Vancouver police that the body of Rachel Adams has been found, and at this point that is all we know," Marion Wilson-Brown, Adams's cousin said on Tuesday night as she choked back tears. Sighing deeply and shaking her head before she began to speak, Wilson-Brown stood outside Vancouver police headquarters, her daughter at her side, and read the family's prepared statement at a hastily organized press conference. She said the family wanted to thank the police and media for their help in the search for her cousin, but asked for privacy "while we come to terms with this tragedy." Wilson-Brown said not all of her extended family knew about the deaths, and need to "grieve in private and come together as a family." Not long after her short statement, and without taking questions, Wilson-Brown and her daughter walked off, stopping only metres away from the press for a long embrace before continuing into the darkness. Rempel's family could not be reached for comment Tuesday, but one of his friends, Amy Donison, said she and the 28-year-old's other friends were "mystified" because they knew him as a bright, sweet guy active in the goth music scene who enjoyed taking trips into the wilderness. "It's a mystery to all of us, why somebody who had so much going for him would do something like that. He was absolutely intelligent. He seemed so focused and very ambitious." She said she was surprised to find out that Rempel and Adams were together after breaking up earlier. "He still loved Rachel despite everything that had happened between them." Rempel had earlier appeared suicidal in an e-mail to friends, saying, "I think I'm going to die. I hope you understand." Donison said she doubted Rempel had enemies who might have murdered him. "He was completely clean-cut, one of the nicest people I'd ever met in my life. There's no way anybody could have anything against Mark." Rempel and Adams had been missing since Thursday. On that day, three relatives and Adams's landlady found blood spattered on the kitchen floor, bed, shower and walls of Adams's apartment in the 400-block of East 34th Avenue. Later that day, a bank machine surveillance tape reportedly captured them shopping in West Vancouver. Then, on Monday, police found a white Nissan, believed to be connected to the pair, in Lions Bay. Police said a man who lives on a quiet residential street in Lions Bay called 911 Monday to tell police a white Nissan matching the description of Rempel's car was parked near his home. www.canada.com/vancouver/story.html?id=6e4726b7-62b8-4f76-be4b-7dde42bce533

Police believe they have found the body of a woman missing for a month, and have charged her ex-boyfriend with second-degree murder.
Kelly Anne Quinn, 25, was last seen in the early morning hours of Sept. 15. Her father reported her missing after her three dachshunds came home alone.
On Sunday, police said a search in a remote area near Hanna uncovered remains of a body believed to be Quinn's. An autopsy will be conducted this week to confirm it is the missing woman.
On Saturday, police charged a 33-year-old man in connection with her disappearance.
Quinn is the city's 12th homicide of the year.

The RCMP have identified the body found near Bath Monday in a makeshift grave as Jeffrey John Shannon, 38. The RCMP found Mr. Shannon's body during their investigation into his Aug. 12 disappearance and the Aug. 30 disappearance of his stepdaughter, Jessie-Jo Finnamore, 20. The RCMP said Monday they were treating the incident as a homicide. "This is being treated as a homicide, given its location - given the fact that it's a makeshift grave," said spokesman Sgt. Gary Cameron. An autopsy was conducted Tuesday in Saint John. Before he vanished, Mr. Shannon, of Greenfield, was due to appear in court as a witness for the prosecution in a case dealing with a string of auto thefts. One of the accused in the car-theft case, Robert Lawrence Winmill, 33, was Ms. Finnamore's common-law husband. Since her disappearance, Mr. Winmill has been putting up posters around the upper St. John River Valley, offering a $5,000 reward for information about her whereabouts. Another of the accused in the car-theft case is Jonathan Finnamore, Ms. Finnamore's brother. After hearing of the RCMP's discovery Monday of human remains, the Shannon family spent much of Tuesday waiting for a visit from the police confirming their worst fears. Earlier in the day, Mr. Shannon's ex-wife, Kim Denny, together with their three children, aged 17 to 22, gathered at the home of Mr. Shannon's parents, a short distance down the Greenfield Road, which meanders through low hills across the St. John River from Florenceville. It was a tense and solemn gathering to cap long weeks of anxiety for the family. "For three months it's been awful - just like being in prison," his mother Jeannette Shannon, said in a soft monotone. "I figured when he left he was dead. But then I thought, 'No, he isn't - he's going to come back home and say hello.' The children cried all the time. They just cried and cried and cried." "When you don't know like that, awful thoughts go through your head - it drives you crazy," Ms. Denny said. The Shannons also don't hold out much hope for Ms. Finnamore. "I say they went together," said 17-year-old Ryan Shannon. Family members have an idea what happened to Mr. Shannon and Ms. Finnamore, but they say they're going to let it all come out in court. canadaeast.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041027/TPEBRIEF/310270041

Guelph police have discovered what they believe are the remains of the owner of a bed and breakfast in a fire pit outside her historic residence and have charged her son with murder.
Shirley McColeman, 67, was reported missing on Friday. After interviewing family members, police searched the property and found the human remains.
A source indicated the remains were burned, although could not confirm the level of damage done to the body.
The remains are being sent to the chief coroner's office in Toronto for identification.
Ms. McColeman's son, Alan, 41, is being held at Maplehurst Detention Centre in Milton and is scheduled to appear in court for a bail hearing today, The Canadian Press reported.
Ms. McColeman owned and ran the Elm Park Bed and Breakfast, a 19th-century stone farmhouse located southwest of the city's downtown off the Hanlon Expressway. The B&B was recognized as a heritage site by the city of Guelph.
News of the discovery has stunned the city's bed-and-breakfast community, whose members described Ms. McColeman as soft-spoken, kind and professional.
"It's a dreadful shock," said Melanie McLennan, owner of nearby London House Bed and Breakfast.
Mrs. McLennan said the incident was "something that belongs in the movies."
Fellow bed and breakfast owner Anne Israel described Ms. McColeman as someone who was generous to her guests.
"She ran a good business," she said.
"Her customers really appreciated her."
Andrew Thompson, president of the Guelph Historical Society, said Ms. McColeman volunteered to set up food and refreshments at the organization's meetings.
"The thing about Shirley was, the job was always done incredibly effectively," he said.
Mrs. McLennan said she had already made space in her own house for two people scheduled to stay at Elm Park, and that other bed and breakfasts had arranged to take in other guests left in need of accommodation by the ongoing investigation.
"We will do our very best to help people," she said. "In some ways, these things have a way of pulling a community together."

Search teams found female body in a farm field in South Winsloe on Wednesday morning.
The body was found near an abandoned vehicle owned by a woman missing from Charlottetown. Kimberly Doreen MacEachern was reported missing on Saturday night.
The 39-year-old failed to return to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. She was on a day pass and was to report back to the facility by 6 p.m. Police said she was dropped off at the QEH, but did not go inside.
Two members of a civilian search team found a body around 300 metres from the vehicle.
"It's not the result that you're always looking for, but unfortunately that's the way things are," said searcher John Toner. "I'm sure it will sink in a little later on."
The RCMP said it is too early in the investigation to rule out any possibility, including foul play.
"Right now everything's suspicious until we identify how the death happened," said Sgt. Gary MacLeod.
An autopsy on the body is scheduled for Thursday morning at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

A 46-year-old autistic Ontario man has been found dead in a local creek after disappearing from his home more than two weeks ago. Police in Halton, Ontario, said divers discovered Randy Mogridge's body on Monday in deep water in Sixteen Mile Creek. His family identified the body several hours later. The cause of his death was not immediately known. The discovery comes less than 24 hours after police renewed their search for Mogridge, who was autistic, bipolar, had epilepsy and was unable to speak. The renewed search was prompted by the discovery on Saturday of a running shoe with his initials written inside. The shoe was found by a family friend who was searching an area a few blocks away from the man's group home in Oakville. Mogridge's disappearance sparked a massive search effort that involved police, family members and hundreds of volunteers. The search was called off Nov. 3. Mogridge's brother Dean said the family is relieved the ordeal is over. "The one thing that would have bothered us more than anything is not finding him," he said. "There's tons of thoughts that can go with that." "If Randy had to go, this wasn't too bad. He had the opportunity to touch a lot of people's hearts," Mogridge added. Earlier in the week, searchers had spotted a lace-up sneaker near where the body was ultimately found, but discounted it since Mogridge was said to be wearing black shoes with Velcro fasteners. But Saturday's re-discovery of the shoe, which had Mogridge's initials inside it, tipped off police to conduct a search underwater, Halton police Sgt. Jeff Corey Corey said. "We do know that Randy had a fascination for water...and there [were] absolutely no sightings from the moment Randy left the Oaklands Regional Centre to indicate that he walked anywhere other than into the river," Corey said. Mogridge's mother Gloria has said she wants to know why her son's caregivers gave police the wrong information about what he was wearing when he disappeared. There are also questions about how the disabled man was allowed to simply wander away from his home, Oaklands Regional Centre, on Oct. 24. www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2004/11/09/mogridge041109.html

Fear swept this tiny Sunshine Coast community yesterday after an apparent attempted abduction of two three-year-old children at the annual Christmas crafts fair.
A 44-year-old man was in custody last night.
The Roberts Creek Community Hall was packed with families and almost 50 vendors when the toddlers disappeared.
The drama began about noon as the mothers of the three-year-olds, who also had a younger child with them, let the toddlers play while they shopped.
Police said that is when the man took the toddlers to his vehicle.
"The mothers realized the kids were gone and started looking for them," said Mar-Lynn Church, the hall manager. "They couldn't have been gone for more than 10-15 minutes."
Someone spotted the children, who are not related, sitting in a stranger's Datsun car in the parking lot.
After the children were reunited with their relieved moms, one of the mothers called the RCMP.
Church then confronted the man who was still sitting in his car.
"He said the two kids were fighting, and one of them tried to poke the eye of the other, when he intervened," said Church. "He said he was just tying to calm them down by playing some music for them in his car."
Church told him the RCMP were on their way and he should wait to answer their questions, which he did.
The man, from Prince George, was visiting his father, a long-time Sunshine Coast resident.
"He'd been hanging out at the crafts fair for the last couple of days," said Church.
Church said the man is being evaluated
by authorities.
"They are holding him," Church told BCTV, which reported that the had recently missed a mental health appointment.
Resident Patrick Fitzsimons was shocked.
"To think that that could happen here," he told BCTV.
"It always happens in the big city. It always happens somewhere else. Now, it's like . . ."
Towha Barboza, a mother, said the alleged abduction gave her "goosebumps."
"I went straight to my partner and [said] 'Keep her [her daughter] in hand'," said Barboza.
Another woman said she was "appalled."
"It's revolting," she said.
Not everyone is convinced the RCMP response was necessary.
"Some people thought the RCMP totally overreacted," said Church. "The kids didn't go anywhere; they never left the property. They didn't leave the parking lot.
"If he was going to abduct children he wouldn't have been sitting in the car playing music for them."

The body of a missing Gatineau woman was discovered in the Ottawa River yesterday by employees of Domtar Inc. Gatineau police pulled the body of Geraldine Robitaille- Miles, missing since April 17, from the river's frigid waters shortly after 1 p.m. yesterday.
Police would not comment on the circumstances of her death.
A spokesman for the police said an autopsy showed drowning was the cause of Mrs. Robitaille-Miles' death.
Teams of police officers and volunteers had been combing Brebeuf and Mousette parks, in the Val Tetreault area of Hull, for almost three weeks, looking for her.
Searchers have also been walking up and down the banks of the raging Ottawa River, looking for some sign of the 69-year-old woman.
Her husband of 40 years, Jack Miles, had been tirelessly searching for his wife around the clock and had been plastering missing-persons posters all over the area.
Mr. Miles last saw his wife the night of April 16 when she returned home, only to leave again late in the evening.
He said she had attended a service at St. George Church on Piccadilly Avenue between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. She was later involved in a car accident at Montreal Road and St. Laurent Boulevard about 9 p.m.
The family could not figure out why Mrs. Robitaille-Miles would have suddenly left home.
Mr. Miles can only speculate that she may have been injured in the accident and left the scene confused. Otherwise, he said, everything in their lives seemed normal.
Those perplexed by the sudden disappearance and subsequent search for Mrs. Robitaille-Miles finally received some closure with the discovery of her body.
A statement was issued by the woman's family, thanking the media and the public for their help in in thesearch.
The family requested privacy for the next several days in order to deal with their loss.

Quebec's deputy chief coroner has confirmed the body found Tuesday north of Hemmingford is that of Shanna Poissant. The 16-year-old girl had been missing since July 11, and Sûreté du Québec officers discovered the body on Tuesday. "The only thing we can say up to now is that the body that was found in the woods in Hemmingford two days ago by the SQ is the body of Shanna Poissant," says Dr. Jean Brochu of the Quebec coroner's office. Brochu says he won't have full results from the autopsy for at least several weeks. Investigators found the body, buried in a shallow grave, in a wooded area near a bike path just north of Hemmingford. Kurt Lauder, 23, was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in the death of the Hemmingford teenager. montreal.cbc.ca/regional/servlet/View?filename=qc-coroner20050728

[glow=red,2,300]Body of missing Ottawa teen Teague found[/glow] Ottawa police confirmed Monday that a body found over the weekend is that of Jennifer Teague, who disappeared on her way home from work 11 days ago. An off-duty police officer and his family discovered the body Sunday off the parking lot near the Kiln Trail, about five kilometres from the Wendy's restaurant where Teague was last seen. The remains had been partially covered with branches. Police said that dental records helped to identify the body and did not say whether Teague had been sexually assaulted. They added they had not determined a cause of death. "It will take . . . extensive forensic testing to obtain more information,'' Staff-Sgt. Monique Ackland told reporters Monday. "That could take weeks.'' The body has been taken to Toronto for further forensic examination. The 18-year-old Teague went missing in the early morning hours of Sept. 8, shortly after she finished working her night shift at the restaurant. Her friends last saw her at at a nearby convenience store about 1:30 a.m. ET, before she began her walk alone to her mother's house. Witnesses reported hearing screams that night. Neither her cellphone nor her debit card had been used since her disappearance. Police say they have now begun a murder investigation. Everyone from forensics specialists to crime lab personnel and beat cops have been called in to help. Another murder still unsolved Investigators are not ruling out the possibility that a serial killer is responsible, but they said it doesn't immediately appear that the case is related to that of another murdered Ottawa woman. Ardeth Wood, 27, disappeared more than two years ago while she was out biking near her parents' home in Orleans. Her body was discovered five days later near a creek. Witnesses reported having seen a man on a bike attempting to lure females into the woods along the bike path Wood had used. But no one was ever charged in that murder. "At this point, I must stress that the two investigations do not appear to be related,'' said Ackland. Teague lived with her family in a quiet, family-oriented Ottawa suburb called Barrhaven. The crime has had a big impact on local resident Sheila Mackintosh-Kassis, who has two teenaged daughters. "Now, just going from the car to the front door my daughter, who is 17, is like, 'Don't leave me. Don't leave me,' and I'm only two feet away. It's really disturbing." Wendy's Canada is rethinking its policy on ensuring employees get home safely. The company says it has a policy that forbids employees from leaving their place of work alone. But other fast food chains, including McDonald's, ensure employees are driven home in taxis or picked up by parents. "We are now in the process of reviewing our policies and procedures,'' said Sharon Reid. Ottawa police have set up an email address for anyone with information into the Teague investigation: infojennifer@ottawapolice.ca www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1127157734296_122566934/?hub=CTVNewsAt11
