'''Dong-Yue Zhang''' ([[March 30]] [[1994]] &mdash; [[October 20]] [[2003]]), known as '''Cecilia Zhang''', was a 9-year-old girl who went missing from her [[Toronto, Ontario]], [[Canada]] family home in fall 2003, making Canadian and international headlines. Her remains were found months later in [[Mississauga, Ontario]]. First-degree murder charges were laid in July 20(contracted; show full)

Her death was the result of Chen botching up his poorly planned scheme during the early hours of October 20, 2003 at Cecilia's home.  When Cecilia struggled and tried to scream, Chen covered her face with a towel and held his hand over her mouth.  She had stopped struggling by the time Chen placed her inside the trunk of his car and left.  When Chen later stopped to check on her, she had stopped breathing.
