Recovered; Mar 27, 2004

For five months police in Toronta as well as around Canada searched for Cecilia. Thousands of tips were called into America's Most Wanted as well as into local police departments. All were investigated, but none panned out. Chinese speaking detectives scoured neighborhoods in Chinatown, passing out flyers and talking to local merchants, hoping someone had heard news on the whereabouts of Cecilia. But nothing. On March 28th, 2004, Peel Regional Police responded to a wooded area in Mississauga, Ontario. A jogger called cops to the location after he discovered the remains a small human. Constables quickly realized the body was a child's and called in the Toronto Police Service Homicide Detectives.

Despite all the hard work, it was luck that would finally end the desperate search. A jogger in the woods stumbed upon bones and contacted the local police. Peel Regional Police came to the scene and took the evidence - a child's skeleton. Everyone suspected the worst, that the remains would be Cecilia's. But it would take time for the results to come back, so everyone waited.

After a few days, the news came in. Ceilia had been found - the remains were hers, and hope of a safe recovery were dashed. How police would have to change their focus from an abduction to a homicide.
