Search of Stanley Park for missing mom of two-month-old baby suspended

VANCOUVER – North Shore Rescue has suspended its search of Stanley Park for a missing young mother from Metro Vancouver.

Thirty-two-year-old Florence Leung was last seen Tuesday as she drove away from her home in New Westminster, B.C.

The search focused on Stanley Park after her white 2016 Audi Q5 was discovered there late Wednesday afternoon.

A New Westminster Police spokesman says Leung was not found after a thorough search of the park, but officers and park rangers will continue to monitor the area.

A release issued by police said Leung’s family is very concerned because the mother of a two-month-old boy may be suffering from post-partum depression.

Police say they are continuing to follow up any leads they receive in an effort to locate the woman.
