The 11-year-old Natalia from the Varna village of Konstantinovo and 40-year-old Asen Simeonov, the former partner of her mother, have been missing for six days. A trace has been found indicating that the two spent the night in the building of the abandoned railway station in the village of Nova Shipka, while the search covers forested areas and settlements in Varna Region. Police and volunteers searched the area and the village of Velichkovo.
Police are urging all citizens to remain vigilant and, if they have information that may be relevant to the search, to immediately call 112 or contact law enforcement authorities. If the wanted individuals are spotted, people should not take independent action but should call 112, as the man may be aggressive.
