Dive team returns to Vancouver park as search continues for missing mother

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Nearly two months after a local mother vanished under, what investigators described as “suspicious circumstances,” police dive teams have returned to a Vancouver park in hopes of finding new clues.

“The RCMP are equipped with specialized training and equipment to help locate and recover evidence. Police will likely be on location throughout the weekend,” says Vancouver Poilce Constable Jason Doucette.

Thirty-seven-year-old Su Yi Liang was reported missing after failing to pick up her two kids from school on Jan. 10. The VPD’s Major Crime Section was brought in and figured out she had actually disappeared two days before that.

Police have confirmed Liang’s 2014 BMW i3 was seen in the parking lot of New Brighton Park in East Vancouver on Jan. 8 just before noon. They also released CCTV images capturing the car being driven near the park that same day at 12:30 p.m., but it’s unclear who may be behind the wheel. Officers eventually found the car at the Rupert Park Pitch & Putt three days later.

The VPD made their first appeal for information on Jan. 24 when they said, due to information they already had but couldn’t release, it was unlikely they were going to find Liang alive.

A man was taken into custody in January as officers searched Liang’s home, however, after being questioned he was released.

Anyone with information about Liang or her activities leading up to Jan. 8, as well as anyone who may have seen her car on Jan. 11, is asked to call the VPD’s Major Crime Section at 604.717.2500 or Crime Stoppers at 1.800.222.8477.
