Vancouver Police are asking for the public’s assistance to help find a missing Vancouver woman.

Family last had contact with 38-year-old Yoo Chung Choi at around 11 p.m. Friday, and she hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Ms. Choi may be emotionally distressed and there is concern that she may try to harm herself.

She is Korean, 5-foot-2, 120 pounds with a slim build and has long dark black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a medium length black skirt, blouse and black rain jacket.

Yoo’s car was found earlier Saturday outside of Lynn Valley Park by the North Vancouver RCMP and an area search of Lynn Valley Park is being undertaken by Park Rangers, North Shore Search and Rescue and RCMP.

Police are also checking local transit stations, taxi companies and hospitals but have failed to turn up any sign of her.

Anyone who sees Yoo Chung Choi is asked to call 9-1-1 and wait with her until police arrive.
