Police say the woman’s disappearance is out of character and are treating it as “suspicious” and that investigators are looking to speak with anyone with information about the incident.

Police described Mui as being Chinese, 5-feet-6-inches tall while weighing around 130 pounds with a medium build, brown eyes, and straight, shoulder-length black hair.
