That theory is one of many investigators are exploring but they decided to step up their presence in the victim's Bayview and Sheppard Aves. neighbourhood just in case.
"I'd really hate to think there is some psychopath running around out there, but we haven't been able to discount that theory yet," homicide Det.-Sgt. Frank Skubic said yesterday.
The identity of Yuan Tian, who's also known as Tracy, the city's 46th murder of the year, was withheld until Chinese authorities were able to notify her parents, who live in a remote Chinese village.
The woman's boyfriend, who called 911 around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, told police he found her on the bedroom floor of her fourth-floor apartment at 75 Talara Dr. with her hands tied behind her back. She had been stabbed numerous times.
"It's a horrific scene," Skubic said.
He's still waiting for a warrant to search the apartment.
Tian moved in to the two-bedroom apartment about a year ago, Skubic said. Her older brother moved out about a month ago after finding a job in the U.S.
The boyfriend, who had been dating her less than a year, also had lived in the apartment but had recently moved out. He still had a key, Skubik said.
The man told police he was visiting after work when he made the grisly discovery.
Skubic insinuated the couple may have recently split up, but didn't elaborate.
He said the boyfriend was questioned "extensively" and is "fully co-operative."
"We're still in the process of confirming what he has told us and I expect we'll be able to do that and eliminate him as a suspect," Skubic said.
He said there were no obvious signs Tian was sexually assaulted, and robbery is unlikely because nothing is missing from her apartment. There are no signs of forced entry and it's possible she let her killer in, Skubic said.
Skubic said the victim recently advertised a room for rent on a Chinese-language website and police want to speak to the people who responded. They also want to speak with the victim's friends and ex-boyfriends.
Investigators are studying reports of a peeping Tom who was spotted lurking in the area over the last few weeks, but have yet to find a connection.
Skubic said the victim was a landed immigrant who arrived in 2005, initially attending university in Windsor and recently completing a master's degree in economics at the University of Guelph.
A 31-year-old Chinese expatriate student found bound and stabbed to death in her North York home Tuesday night had been seeking to sublet a room in her rented two-bedroom apartment and several prospective tenants had visited, detectives said yesterday.
Police had not immediately named the victim, pending notification of her parents, who live in a remote part of China. But she has now been identified as Yuan (Tracy) Tian, who recently completed an economics degree at the University of Guelph after arriving in Canada in 2005 and initially studying at the University of Windsor.
Found lying on the floor of her home with her hands tied behind her, Ms. Tian died of multiple stab wounds, an autopsy yesterday concluded. There was no overt sign of a sexual assault, Detective Sergeant Frank Skubic said.
Ms. Tian was looking for a roommate because her older brother had recently moved out of the four-storey building to go to the United States to pursue a job opportunity, Det. Sgt. Skubic said.
The pair had shared a unit on the top floor of the Talara Drive building in the Bayview Village neighbourhood near Highway 401.
Her body was discovered by her boyfriend, who called 911 and who, after extensive police interviews and an examination of his car, is not viewed as a suspect.
Ms. Tian's hunt for a tenant, advertised on a Chinese-language website, is only one area under scrutiny, Det. Sgt. Skubic said. "There are a number of theories we are investigating."
Ms. Tian had had previous boyfriends, he said.
Another line of inquiry involves complaints by tenants about a possible peeping Tom, seen hovering around the building and peering through ground-floor windows.
A preliminary inspection of the apartment showed no sign of a robbery, Det. Sgt. Skubic said. However, police had still not conducted a thorough examination because they were awaiting a search warrant, a process delayed because several names are on the apartment lease.
Ms. Tian's death was Toronto's 46th homicide of the year.
"This is an incredibly sad situation and we send our condolences to her family," said University of Guelph spokeswoman Lori Bona Hunt, who said that Ms. Tian completed her economics degree this summer and was awaiting her graduation.
Meanwhile, in a separate case, the former custodians of a seven-year-old girl allegedly beaten to death while in their care have had charges of second-degree murder upgraded to first-degree murder.
Donna Irving, 29, and her boyfriend Warren Johnson, 46, were charged after Katelynn Sampson was found dead in their Parkdale home Aug. 3.
Despite a criminal record for drugs, prostitution and violence, Ms. Irving had been given full custody of Katelynn because the child's mother, Bernice Sampson, was unable to care for her.
The charges were raised to first-degree murder yesterday on grounds that Katelynn had been confined during the abuse, which produced injuries that one detective described as the worst of their kind he had yet seen.
This is Canada, not China. Canadian police doesn't have your personal identifying information, unless you have a record with CPIC.
With a court order or a warrant, Police can ask Bell or Ministry of Transportation to provide information, e.g. telephone number of address.
The reason why Police didn't ask for identifying information is to encourage the general public to provide tips. In general, these tips would not become evidence.
Some people feel comfortable calling police to offer tips only if they will not be identified.

Murder victim will be remembered at University of Guelph
Flags will fly at half-mast, memorial being planned for Yaun (Tracy) Tian

GUELPH
The University of Guelph co-op co-ordinator for murder victim Yuan (Tracy) Tian was struggling yesterday with the news a woman he'd respected for her energy, drive and commitment to a future in business was dead.
"To have a student murdered -- it's beyond description," Ian Wallace said yesterday, pausing to compose himself.
"It's still incredibly tragic . . . so incredibly sad."
He was cherishing a Christmas card she sent him.
"I'm glad I kept it," he said softly. "It's on my desk right now."
University spokesperson Lori Bona Hunt said campus flags will fly at half-mast today or later this week, though details of any memorial service on campus for the 31-year-old economics graduate student are not yet known.
"There'll be a notice about it on the (university) webpage."
Tian, who preferred to go by the first name Tracy, was discovered bound and stabbed to death in her North York apartment last week, with a search for the killer continuing.
She immigrated to Canada from China in 2005, initially attended the University of Windsor before coming to the local campus, continuing an education in economics she began in Asia.
She hadn't technically received her master's degree from the University of Guelph.
Bona Hunt said the woman had finished her master's thesis and was approved for graduation a few weeks ago, but was to attend convocation ceremonies next February.
"She didn't have her degree yet," Bona Hunt said.
Co-op students periodically spend time working on job sites between studies. As a co-op student living in north Toronto, Tian was only on the Guelph campus from time to time.
Wallace, as the university's co-op co-ordinator, helped Tian find a work placement in June last year with a downtown Toronto energy firm, a deployment that lasted until this past April. She worked this summer on her thesis and planned to search for a permanent job this fall, he added.
Wallace was particularly struck by her enthusiasm and warm personality.
"(She was) someone who was incredibly nice, positive, professional," Wallace said, adding she thought she had a good future as a business analyst. "She was so genuinely excited and appreciative of having this great opportunity."
She had a head for business analysis, or "number crunching," as Wallace put it yesterday.
"She was really looking forward to taking on that role."
She had so much potential, he added.
"That's just the incredibly tragic part of this to have to deal with," Wallace said.
Seeing her name flash across the television screen the other day as a murder victim "was pretty numbing," Wallace said.
"(She was) someone who was incredibly nice, positive, professional," Wallace said, adding she thought she had a good future as a business analyst. "She was so genuinely excited and appreciative of having this great opportunity."
而且，以上也是我对她的印象。急...恳请知情人提供更多信息；
