Relief as missing special needs woman found near Salamat Lake
Joy Zhang, a 21 year old with the mental capacity of a 10 year old, disappeared near Salamat Lake northeast of Vancouver on Thursday. A fellow special needs woman last saw her and a clue led rescuers to locate Zhang Sunday near where she vanished. She is not injured, in high spirits, and was found within about 200 metres of the area searched. Authorities note difficult terrain but praise the coordinated efforts of the Col quitlam Search and Rescue team and responding officers.
