Police said Zhang boarded an MTD Teal Line bus at 1:35 p.m. Friday, June 9, at Orchard Downs. She left the bus at Springfield and Matthews avenues in Urbana at 1:52 p.m.
She was last seen just after 2 p.m. Friday on security video from the B-4 parking garage on North Goodwin Avenue that police released. In the footage, Zhang is seen on east side of North Goodwin when a black Saturn Astra of an unknown year pulls up beside her. She and the driver speak for a period of time before she gets in the car, which drives away heading north on Goodwin. The final clip in the video shows a closer view of the same car from a different camera, just before it picked up Zhang, police said.
