The FBI is now offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the location of Ms. Zhang.
Investigators from the University of Illinois Police Department, the Illinois State Police and the FBI continue to move forward with the investigation, but information from the public remains an important part of the case.
Anyone with information concerning the disappearance or the whereabouts of Ms. Zhang can contact the FBI at 1-800-CALLFBI (1-800-225-5324) or tips.fbi.gov. Additionally, those wishing to submit information can do so completely anonymously by contacting Champaign County Crime Stoppers at 217-373-TIPS (217-373-8477), 373tips.com or via the P3 Tips mobile app.
Law enforcement and university officials on Saturday also met with Ms. Zhang’s family, who arrived in Champaign-Urbana. Accommodations have been made for them to stay on campus while the search continues.
The U of I Community Credit Union has set up an account and a GoFundMe campaign to cover the family’s living expenses during their time on campus. Those wishing to donate may do so through the website or by visiting any of the U of I Community Credit Union’s three branches.
The University of Illinois Police Department again thanks the community for its continued support of Ms. Zhang, her family and friends, and those who have volunteered to find Ms. Zhang.
