The mother of Anna Tsomartova, who went missing more than a year ago in Dagestan, asks to put her daughter on the international wanted list
Diana Tsomartova, the mother of Anna, who went missing more than a year ago near the FSB sanatorium in Kaspiysk, Dagestan, has called for her daughter to be put on the international wanted list.
 
“I don’t know what else to do to make sure we are heard and Anya is found,” says Diana.
 
In September 2024, a photo appeared from the Dubai metro, which presumably showed Anna Tsomartova. Since then, her mother has been waiting for the investigation to begin in Dubai.
 
In March 2023, Anna Tsomartova’s relatives announced their readiness to pay 5 million rubles to anyone who finds her. The 22-year-old student went missing on February 10 in Kaspiysk. The girl came to Dagestan for a Thai boxing tournament. Anna lost at the competition, which made her very upset. She was last seen on the shores of the Caspian Sea. The police, volunteers, and divers searched for the girl, but they still haven’t found her.
