Yingying Zhang hasn't been seen since her disappearance. Christensen is accused of kidnapping 26-year-old missing University of Illinois scholar Yingying Zhang, who was last seen stepping into a black hatchback on June 9 after she left home to sign the lease on a new unit. She has not bee seen since. The FBI has been watching Christensen since a week after Ms Zhang’s disappearance, listening in on his conversations and watching his every move, particularly when he turned up at a vigil for her, News Corp has reported. The 28-year-old suspect joined Ms Zhang’s family and hundreds of others on June 29 when they marched through the university campus as part of a campaign to try and find her. Christensen was heard talking “about the characteristics of an ideal victim” and pointed out people who fit that description, prosecutors said during a bail hearing this week. It’s also alleged he told another person about how Ms Zhang “fought and resisted” when he abducted her. CCTV places Ms Zhang at a bus stop in the Illinois city of Urbana on June 9 and shows her trying to flag down a bus that failed to stop. A black Satum Astra drives past, circles back and stops in front of the clearly distressed Ms Zhang. She was seen talking to the driver for about a minute before entering the car. It’s alleged he took her back to his unit, where he held her against her will. The tape also reveals Christensen allegedly threaten another person, who later went on to provide incriminating evidence, prosecutors said. The FBI also alleges that its audio recording reveals how Christensen claims to have kidnapped Ms Zhang. “Christensen stated that he brought YZ (Ms Zhang) back to his apartment and otherwise held her in his apartment against her will,” Special Agent Anthony Manganaro said in his statement. It’s not clear who Christensen was talking to in the tape. Police arrested Christensen the day after the vigil and charged him with kidnapping Ms Zhang - an agricultural sciences scholar visiting the university from China. According to an FBI affidavit, after initially telling investigators that he was at home playing video games all day, Christensen later admitted to picking up an Asian woman in his black Saturn Astra that afternoon. However, he claims he dropped her off not far from where he picked her up after she became distressed. Although, investigators said the car’s front passenger door “appeared to have been cleaned to a more diligent extent than the other doors”, suggesting he had tried to conceal evidence that she had been in the vehicle. Police also say he researched how to abduct someone two months before Ms Zhang went missing after finding search history on his phone that led to a website with a forum on abduction. Ms Zhang disappeared about a month into her year-long scholarship at the university. Christensen’s lawyer Tom Bruno said he did not think a “negative inference” could be made from his marching in the vigil for Ms Zhang. He said Christensen was entitled to the presumption of innocence. Magistrate Eric Long refused bail to Christensen and ordered that he stay in jail until trial. He has not entered a plea in the case and he is being held at Macon County jail. While Christensen has not been accused of killing Ms Zhang and her body has not been found, authorities say that due to the evidence they have gathered they believe she is dead.  Honesty is the best policy. |

章瑩穎現身小鎮賣珠寶？FBI：不合理 章瑩穎失縱迄今仍未尋獲，近日卻傳出多位住在伊州小鎮莎稜姆(Salem)民眾，6月16日看到疑似章瑩穎在鎮上沿路向商家兜售珠寶的情形，莎稜姆警局警探葛林(Bryan Green)10日表示，根據目前警方掌握的訊息，該名女孩可能不是章瑩穎，不過，這項調查還在做最後確認，這幾天就會公布結果。 FBI表示，此消息的邏輯性及合理性有問題，章瑩穎在失蹤一周後，出現在距離兩個多小時車程的地方並兜售珠寶，卻沒有和任何家人聯繫，在情理上完全解釋不通；他們 會派探員進一步調查，但這會分散目前非常寶貴的警力。 葛林向本報說，當地警方已經對民眾提供的訊息進行調查，目前認為這位曾在該市向店家賣珠寶的女孩，可能並不是章瑩穎，但現在警方還在做最後確認，應該很快就會公布調查結果。 章瑩穎出現在莎稜姆市賣珠寶，是由當地民眾葛瑞琴．道格拉斯(Gretchen Douglas)6月24日於個人臉書及伊大警局官方臉書上發文；當時她表示，自己與多位當地商家，都百分之百確定賣珠寶的女孩就是章瑩穎，而且還穿著跟失蹤時一樣的服飾，背著雙肩包。 不過，7月3日她又發文表示，她2日向上月16日也看過賣珠寶女孩的當地CT美甲店工作朋友求證，該朋友認為「不是章瑩穎，因為賣珠寶的女孩有虎牙。」 章瑩穎家人法律顧問王志東表示，章瑩穎家人一直抱有希望，期待她能夠回到家人身邊，所以不會放棄任何線索，也希望出現奇蹟。 王志東說，6日一早，章瑩穎家人的確前往距離香檳學校所在地有兩個多小時車程的莎稜姆市，家人在這個小鎮從早到晚，一直尋找了一整天，該市眾多商家中，有七個人分別向家人證實了他們曾見過章瑩穎，其中五位比較確定。 不過每個人能夠回憶起的具體日期、時間和地點等並不完全一致，但也有人明確指出，章瑩穎在6月16日出現在當地，當時背著她在失蹤時所背的雙肩包，步行向商家兜售首飾。其中有一位目擊者說，她對於日期、賣珠寶女的長相以及他們之間的對話記得非常清楚。 這位目擊者說，賣珠寶女孩講英文，說自己從中國來，是UIUC的學生等等，甚至說記得她的名字是 Yingying。 章瑩穎家人7日一早緊急求見FBI和當地警方，向他們通報了家人前一天尋找章瑩穎的具體情況；FBI表示， 他們對於來自該市有人指出見過章瑩穎曾有了解，但目前FBI在處理更重要更有價值的情報信息，同時 FBI也對該信息提供者的動機表示懷疑。 章瑩穎家人對FBI的答覆並不滿意。其中就讀北京大學博士班的章瑩穎男友侯霄霖，對於他們在小鎮和當地幾個目擊證人的交談，判斷認為這些人沒有撒謊，所以他強烈要求FBI對這件事進行進一步調查。 FBI認為章瑩穎家屬的擅自行動，會對案件調查以及家人心理產生負面影響；但是家人認為「我們別無選擇」，因為任何一個線索都是一絲希望。 王志東說，如果當地證人的說法是準確的，其中確實存在不合情理之處，但在章案中，不合情理之處還有很多，比如FBI在6月30日宣布認為章瑩穎已不在人世，但至今卻仍拿不出任何直接有力的證據來支持他們的判斷，這一點也非常不合常理。 王志東說，希望大家站在章瑩穎家人的立場，堅持尚存的希望，盼望章瑩穎生還。 It has been over a month since Miss Zhang's disappearance. Please help to find her. Honesty is the best policy.
