Toronto paralegal Ani Ashekian, 30, left on a trip to Asia on October 24 and was due to fly back home from New Delhi , India on Monday. But she never boarded her flight.

The last time anybody had contact with her was on November 10 when she sent a text message to her older sister on her niece's birthday. That same day she took a cash advance on her credit card for $1,000.
