In Dagestan, the 15th day of searching for an athlete from North Ossetia

In Dagestan, the search for 22-year-old Anna Tsomartova, an Ossetian woman, continues for the 15th day. Emergency Ministry employees, police officers, volunteers and relatives are looking for the girl. The search area along the coastline of the Caspian Sea stretches for 156 kilometers.

The parents of the missing athlete asked Russian President Vladimir Putin for help in a petition. “We believe that for an objective investigation into the disappearance of Anna Tsomartova, it is necessary for Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin to participate in the investigation,” says the text published by the girl’s father, Nikolai.

Earlier, the Dagestan police duty station received a message from a 43-year-old resident of North Ossetia. She reported that her daughter Anna Tsomartova in Kaspiysk left the Sports Palace named after. A. Aliyeva never returned. A student came to a Muay Thai competition, lost, and was very worried. She was last seen on the shores of the Caspian Sea.
