Family of Liao described her disappearance as out of character, and they are worried for her well-being. 

Liao's daughter, Cindy Cheng spoke Tuesday at a news conference in Surrey, appealing to the public for help in finding her mother. 

"She has never gone missing before and would never travel for long periods of time without notifying us, and we know she would never leave us behind," said Cheng.

"My mom is the pillar of our family as she always puts everyone before herself. Her loving and supportive personality is evident to anyone who has met her.... Everyone is very concerned and worried about her well-being and it is very upsetting to imagine any other possible outcomes."
