The owners - who wished to remain anonymous - said they were "shocked and stunned" by the realtor's mysterious disappearance. Their home of nearly 40 years has now become a crime scene, with cops describing it as an area of "significant interest". The pad, which the couple say is due to undergo forensic examination, has become the focal point of the investigation. Yanfei was set to show someone around the place on Wednesday - the morning she vanished - according to the couple. The Christchurch realtor is feared to have been abducted from the property, although cops are now treating it as a murder inquiry. Residents have been warned to expect an increased police presence in the coming days as the quest for answers continues. Disturbingly, an open house was held at the property days after Yanfei had been reported missing. An auction for the pad that was scheduled for Wednesday has now been postponed as cops continue to probe the scene. The owners said: "We just hope everything turns out all right." An extensive search across Hornby remains underway, with authorities scouring the area both on foot and in helicopters. Teams have been focusing on the nearby Halswell River area around Lake Ellesmere at Greenpark in the hunt for clues. Dive squads have been using sonar technology to continue the search underwater, pol){kind=link}
