Μake us preferred on Google Her husband, Vasilis Karavasilis, continues to seek answers, while a Chinese property agent identified only as “Chen”, who may have crucial information about the case, remains unaccounted for.
According to Karavasilis, Chen managed most of the apartments in an apartment building on Charilaou Trikoupi Street in centra Athens, where Yu Ting had arranged to meet a plumber on the day she disappeared.
The plumber reportedly waited for her but she never showed up. The building’s commons manager said he, Chen and a woman identified as Lei had all tried to locate her without success.
About 20 days later, Chen contacted the building manager, informed him that Yu Ting was missing and asked him to report what he knew to the Lifeline missing-persons organization. Chen has reportedly not been located since.
The 1,500-euro phone call
Another element under examination is a telephone conversation Yu Ting had the day before she disappeared. In an audio recording from within her home, the 50-year-old can be heard speaking in fluent Greek, while her interlocutor apparently demands 1,500 euros.
“He wants 1,500 euros. Leave it at the door. Otherwise, we won’t show anything, we won’t give anything,” the speaker says.
The recording has been handed to authorities and is among the evidence being examined to establish the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
Surveillance footage reconstructs her final hours
Security cameras at Yu Ting’s home in Artemida have provided investigators with a detailed account of her movements during the final 24 hours before she vanished.
On the morning of the preceding day, she was recorded making several telephone calls in Chinese before carrying out household chores. At 10:50 a.m., she left the house wearing white clothes and carrying a handbag and documents. She returned approximately eight hours later.
At 7:15 p.m., cameras recorded her exchanging messages on her phone on the staircase. Seven minutes later, at 7:22 p.m., she received the telephone call in which she was heard speaking Greek about the 1,500-euro demand.
She subsequently appeared carrying documents that may have been connected to the conversation. Although the lights were switched off at 7:45 p.m., she continued moving between floors, repeatedly visiting the basement area and keeping her mobile phone with her, including during the night.
The following morning, she got up early, ate breakfast and completed household tasks before preparing to leave.
At 9:55 a.m., she was recorded putting on her shoes, taking her crossbody bag, unlocking the door and leaving the house. It was the last confirmed image of her.
