Chinese Girl Visiting L.A. Is Missing
A 16-year-old Chinese girl in this country to study has been missing since Wednesday, when she went with a group to Universal Studios, the sheriff’s department reported.
Yia Lin was supposed to have met fellow members of the Rancho Cucamonga-based Council For Educational Travel USA at 9 p.m. Wednesday at the gate of the park, said Lt. Brad Welker of the sheriff’s West Hollywood station.
The student group had gone to Universal about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.
“There is no indication of foul play,” said Sheriff’s Lt. Ken Leffler. “After searching the grounds numerous times, they just searched the hillsides around Universal and found nothing suspicious.”
The girl is part of a group of Chinese students who are spending a month in Southern California.
Lin, who is 4 feet 11 and weighs 95 pounds, has black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone knowing her whereabouts is urged to call authorities.
