"However, she does have regular contact with her family, and the fact that she hasn't checked in with them is enough for them to be concerned, and for the police to be concerned at this point," she said.

"This is out of character for her," she said.

Moskaluk said police don't know where Mui was going Friday morning, saying her schedule as a Realtor was "all over the place." Mui is aRealtor at a brokerage based in Richmond Hill.
