On November 9, 2008, Ani Ashekian left Xian, China on a Dragon Airlines flight to Hong Kong.
On November 10, Ani Ashekian was seen in Chungking Mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui and also Causeway Bay.
And then on November 11, Ani Ashekian disappeared without a trace.
Tourists in Hong Kong simply don't vanish. Last year, more than 29 million visitors passed through Hong Kong's borders and this native to Canada was one of them.
But according to the Immigration Department, there is no record of Ani ever having left Hong Kong.
There have been no e-mails or phone calls to friends and family. There has been no activity on her bank accounts. There is no electronic or print paper trail. The pervasive digital traces we all generate in today's information driven society there are none for Ani Ashekian.
Eight months have passed since anyone has last seen or heard from her. It's a mystery with many questions and few clues, and it's a mystery that has left family members and loved ones longing for information.
How could a tourist simply disappear in Hong Kong one of the safest cities in the world?

The first time i went to Hk early morning police knocked in my room and asked for my passport ... after they checked and see my visa they give a papey about this girl missing ... after i comeback last october ... they do the same thing ... i hope and pray that they can find Ani ... Me as a single back packers traveller are scared while im travelling BUT i have a tips to all the tourist who come to Hk ... Please dont stay in Chung King Mansion
Chungking Mansion is not a safe place to stay ... Very crowded , noisy & at night so many african man down the bldg and they always bother people who walked donw the street ... i hope and pray that they can find Ani as soon as possible ... You have my prayers :)
To go missing in HK is very rare indeed as it is such a safe city with little violent crime, i have lived here for over 14 years and the one blessing is the knowledge that you can walk the streets late at night without thought. Perhaps the police should focus on places she might have gone hiking or walking as tourists sometimes lose their way. People forget HK is surrounded by dense jungles, narrow mountain passes and hidden canyons.
Any "chip" can be taken with you; it does not need to be implanted! her money was not a concern to her disappearance but concentrate on her last known place where she was at the time she was seen no more. There is someone there that knows her movements i am sure. It seems that she was murdered due to no one asking for money or using her money. But why if so?
it is a very horrific news, hope Ashekian would be found soon. i lived in HK for many yrs and i know "Chungking Mansions" is not a good place to visit. Hong Kong is a beautiful city. but for any tourists who r planning to visit HK, NEVER go into "Chungking Mansion" located in TST, it is where lots of robbery happens
Thank you for the heads-up. I am going to HK in a couple of weeks. If I come across Ani...I'll let you know. Almost a year now..but till you find a body, one must not lose hope esp. to all her love ones.
