THE mother of a missing 28-year-old woman burst into tears as she arrived at the last place her daughter was seen — a townhouse in south west Sydney which is now a crime scene.
The mother of Qi Yu is believed to have arrived on a flight from China over the weekend to join a strike force of local and homicide detectives searching for her daughter who has been missing since Friday night.

Vincent Chen lives two doors from Ms Yu in a Campsie complex and heard the distraught mother arrive with police on Sunday morning.
“She cried and cried … she didn’t sleep for three days already,” Mr Chen said.
“If something happen to someone’s family like that, it’s terrible.
“She was a very honest and quiet girl, a very nice girl.”
Police found Ms Yu’s 2016 model Toyota Corolla on Lindsay St, Burwood on Saturday night after a housemate reported her missing from her bedroom at 9am that morning.
Ms Yu’s last known communication was a phone call with family in China on Friday night.
Police are gravely concerned for Ms Yu, with Homicide Squad detectives investigating whether she has been murdered.
They are particularly interested in the movements of Ms Yu’s car — numberplate DLK 13P — between 7pm Friday and 8.30pm Saturday.
Other residents knew Ms Yu as the quiet, reserved neighbour who left for work before 6.30am each day but did not know her occupation.
“I used to see her start her car very early each morning and think ‘what job?’,” one resident said.
Neighbours reported over the weekend hearing her distressed roommates saying “her car’s gone, her car’s gone”.
“By Saturday morning there were police all over the place … We all got a shock over it,” neighbour Rhonda Hall said.
“More detectives came back (on Monday) taking our name and phone numbers … I said it didn’t look good for her.”
