Brendt Christensen, a former University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) doctoral student, was found guilty Monday of kidnapping and killing Zhang Yingying, a Chinese visiting scholar at UIUC in 2017. Zhang went missing in June 2017, when she was on her way to sign an apartment lease. She was last seen getting into Christensen's car at a bus stop, according to court documents. Christensen was arrested on June 30, 2017 after being caught on tape pointing out people he described as "ideal victims" during a vigil in Zhang's honor. The victim's body has never been found.
