The sister and other relatives of Randa Elyassir, 32, are appealing to the public for help in finding the young woman, last sen as she left a fitness class on the afternoon of August 24 in York Region. From there, it seems as if she vanished from the parking lot of the Vellore Village Community Centre at Villa Royal Ave. and Weston Rd in Vaughan. York Regional police found her purse filled with personal belongings but Randa was nowhere to be seen. She has not contacted her sister, with whom she was close nor attended events she was said to be anticipating. York Regional Police are not saying what they think happened but they must face the prospect that the woman was abducted. She is described as Arab, five-feet, 10-inches tall and 160 pounds. She has tanned skin with a muscular build. Her hair is shoulder length, brown and wavy. She has brown eyes. Randa was last seen wearing a black, long-sleeved shirt, a light-coloured vest, and light-coloured pants. Anyone with information is urged to contact York Regional Police No. 4 District at 1-866-876-5423. Anonymous tips can be provided through Crime Stoppers
