The Hellenic Police’s investigation into the disappearance of 50-year-old Yu Ting from Loutsa, almost four months later, is now focusing on her professional background.
The 50-year-old had been living in Greece since 2002, married to a Greek shipping executive, and worked as a translator and estate agent. She was known to her clients by the pseudonym ‘Onira’, which she also used as her username on WeChat, where most of her contacts and transactions took place.
She went missing on 20 May 2026. The last sign of contact was shortly after 11 am, when she sent her husband photographs of documents via WeChat. That same afternoon, her mobile phone stopped giving a signal in the area around Amerikis Square. It was later located in central Athens by a third party, who had reset it to factory settings — and, as a result, her WeChat data was lost, meaning precisely the information that would have shown who she had been speaking to in the last few hours. A Silver Alert remains in force to help locate her.
A few days ago, four months after her disappearance, her passport was found in Galatsi Park, torn to pieces and badly weathered by exposure to the sun — a sign that it had been left there for weeks. The document was sent to the forensic laboratories, whilst twelve police officers combed the area in search of her other personal belongings. The location is different from where her mobile phone had been found.
Meanwhile, the authorities are investigating a pending case from 2023, which arose from complaints by two Chinese investors and property companies regarding property transactions that were never finalised. The total amount claimed amounts to 400,000 euros, whilst the 50-year-old woman’s name appears in connection with a sum of around 40,000 euros. The complainants’ solicitor is Nikos Deligiannis.
This case remains unsolved: up until the day of her disappearance, no charges had been brought against her, nor had she been convicted, and no warrant has been issued. The police are investigating her as one of the possible motives, without ruling out other scenarios.
Anyone with any information about her whereabouts should contact the police or the Silver Alert helpline.
