The text message, police said, was sent in a Chinese dialect to Shan\u2019s mother who lives in China. Investigators said they had not contacted Shan\u2019s mother and did not know if the message was true or a hoax. But detectives said yesterday that they were still looking for Shan and had no concrete evidence she had been released by her kidnappers. The lawmen said they have stepped up their search for Shan after also receiving a message from someone who called the Piarco Police Station around 6.30 am yesterday, claiming she had been dropped off near a bridge in St Helena.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.trinidadexpress.com\/news\/Cops_step_up_search_for_abducted_woman-120834924.html\">Cops step up search for abducted woman<\/a><br \/>\nA high-profile meeting was called yesterday at the Old Police Headquarters, Port of Spain, to discuss the way forward in solving the murder of restaurant owner Anthony Chen and the kidnapping of another restaurateur, Xue Hua Shan. <\/p>\n<p><b>April 27, 2011<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><big><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.trinidadexpress.com\/news\/Slain_China_Palace_owner__behind_kidnapping_-120753744.html\">Slain China Palace owner &#8216;behind kidnapping&#8217;<\/a><\/strong><\/big><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/www.trinidadandtobagonews.com\/blogimg\/achen.jpg' width='150' height='150' border='0' class='alignleft' alt='Anthony Chen' \/>MURDERED businessman Anthony Chen was identified by police as the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Chinese businesswoman Xue Hua Shan.
