Homicide detectives have taken over the investigation into the disappearance of a Richmond Hill woman who may have fallen victim to foul play.
York Regional Police announced homicide unit's involvement Thursday, as they issued a new appeal for tips to locate 45-year-old Cheryl Rowe.
Rowe was last seen by her family at a residence on Browndale Crescent in Richmond Hill on Dec. 21 at about 11:30 p.m.
During the investigation, detectives learned Rowe may be the victim of foul play, police said.
She is white, five feet tall and 125 pounds with a thin build, dark brown hair that is short in length, and brown eyes.
She was last seen wearing dark-coloured jeans, a light blue two-toned jacket, purple Adidas running shoes and a white baseball hat with a green leaf on the front.
On Thursday, police released new photos of Rowe, including a surveillance image from a Richmond Hill store. That image shows Rowe donning the white hat and jacket she was wearing when she was last seen.
