Police say burned remains found last week have been identified as those of a Markham, Ont., woman who was reported missing earlier this month.

York Regional Police say the coroner has confirmed the burned remains found in Parry Sound, Ont, on Aug. 12 are those of Yuk-Ying Anita Mui.

Mui’s family reported the 51-year-old Markham realtor missing on Aug. 9 and her car was later found in Toronto’s east end.

Police say three teen boys are all facing fraud charges in connection with Mui’s disappearance after they were allegedly found with her property.

They say one of the suspects, a 17-year-old from Whitby, Ont., has also been charged with several gun-related offences, while another, a 16-year-old from Toronto, is charged with failing to comply with a probation order.

Police say investigators believe Mui may have been transported in a white 2019 Mercedes-Benz cargo van, and are asking for anyone to come forward who may have seen the vehicle around Vandorf Sideroad in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, or in Parry Sound between Aug. 9 and Aug. 12.
