The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information that'll help locate a visiting scholar from China who disappeared from the University of Illinois.
Police say 26-year-old Yingying Zhang was about a month into a yearlong appointment at the central Illinois university when she disappeared June 9th.
Campus police say surveillance video shows her entering a black Saturn Astra vehicle in Urbana that afternoon.
Her friends told authorities she had gone out to sign a lease.
Authorities have labeled the case a kidnapping, but aren't ruling anything out.
The FBI announced the reward Saturday.
Zhang was working in the university's Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, researching photosynthesis and crop productivity.
University officials say Zhang's visiting scholar appointment runs through April 2018.
She is from Jianyang, China.
