Volunteers will continue the search for 9-year-old Yana Perchatkina, who disappeared in the city of Beloretsk in the Republic of Bashkiria on May 3. The head of the search group for missing people in the Republic, Pavel Nesterov, told Komsomolskaya Pravda about this.

According to volunteers, the search has not yet yielded any results. Earlier, information appeared that it was decided to stop the search for Perchatkina, but this information is invalid. About 50 volunteers are searching for the schoolgirl, and people from other cities have also joined them. They plan to change the search area, coordinating their actions with law enforcement agencies.

Has Yana Perchatkina been found, Beloretsk: latest news

Relatives who have not lost hope of finding the girl seek the help of psychics. However, the girl was not at the place they indicated.

Anyone can join the search for Miss Perchatkina, who disappeared in Beloretsk. Volunteers gather at the bus station, and the entire detailed information and contact information for coordinators can be found in

The schoolgirl's relatives turned to famous psychics

Four weeks after the disappearance of nine-year-old Yana Perchatkina in Beloretsk, the girl was found neither alive nor dead. From the house on Prokatnaya Street, where the second-grader came from, to school No. 18, where she studied, is a 10-minute walk, and the child disappeared during this period of time. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus reported that a reward of 300 thousand rubles is guaranteed for information that will help in the search.

Without a trace or consequence

The schoolgirl's relatives turned to famous psychics - this is a chance for them to find out what happened to Yana. But the hope of finding the girl in good health is fading every day.

Let us remind you that Yana disappeared on May 3, but the girl was missed only in the evening, when it turned out that she did not show up for classes and at the “Rovesnik” club, where she went to dance after school. The child did not have a mobile phone, and Yana’s mother had recently given birth to her little brother and was taking care of the newborn. The teacher, having discovered that the girl did not come to school, called her mother, but she changed her cell phone number and could not get through. Perhaps these hours became decisive when it was still possible to find a second-grader.

In search of the body, law enforcement officers and volunteers combed all abandoned areas of the city and surrounding areas - forests, landfills, abandoned houses, sewer wells, explored the banks of the Belaya and Nura rivers, and divers combed the bottom of reservoirs, but none of the searchers found any traces of the missing person.

According to criminal experts, when children are abducted, the chance of finding the child alive lasts no more than 48 hours - which is why, in the first days of the search, law enforcement officers throw all their efforts to find the little person.

Psychics also did not reassure the relatives, suggesting that the girl was dead. Clairvoyants claim that Yana was killed with a blow to the head, and her body is located somewhere near the bridge and the railway, covered with boards and concrete blocks.

From the moment when Yana went to school early in the morning, but did not show up for classes because she disappeared 300 meters from the educational institution, not a single clue appeared to establish her whereabouts.

Of course, an accident cannot be ruled out, but both relatives and teachers describe Yana as an obedient child who would never go on an independent journey, for example, to a river or an abandoned construction site. Investigators had suspicions that the girl could be jealous of her mother’s newborn brother and stepfather who had recently joined the family, and therefore could leave home. But teachers who know the girl assure that Yana has an easygoing and calm character and such an act is not in her character. There is also the second-grader’s own father, who could have influenced the girl, but, as it turned out, he abandoned Yana when her mother was pregnant, and since then he has never been interested in his daughter and has never even seen her.

The child's stepfather, who works as an assistant driver, was also suspected - the man was detained allegedly for non-payment of fines, but a DNA test was taken. This precaution is due to the fact that in 2012, in the same Beloretsk, the stepfather raped and killed 10-year-old Alena Goryacheva, and when the child’s body a month later (!) was found buried in a shed in the courtyard of the house, it turned out that the girl’s mother knew about it and remained silent in order to maintain relations with the monster. Therefore, Yana’s mother was also tested with a lie detector, but she is beyond suspicion. The woman is busy with her baby and, thinking about the fate of her daughter, her milk has disappeared.

Victims of malice

Today it is obvious that Yana Perchatkina became a victim of malicious intent. And the girl’s body was not found only because the criminal was a random person who did not come to the attention of the investigators, or because he still keeps the child with him.

This was the case when 11-year-old Violetta Tokarczuk was killed in Ufa in 2015 - the rapist, who had recently served time for sex crimes, accidentally saw a girl going to school and followed her. Seeing abandoned garages, he dragged the child to a secluded place and first abused him and then strangled him. The killer Alexander Valetkin, who had no connection with Violetta, managed to escape unnoticed. But the villain was caught thanks to biological traces - skin and saliva left on the child's body - DNA examination, which remained in the forensic database, helped to identify the criminal. If it were not for molecular genomic research, then this murderer, today sentenced to life in prison, could have eluded justice.

The sudden disappearance of a schoolgirl early in the morning in Beloretsk may indicate that Valetkin may have followers.

Investigators are asking all motorists to check their car recorders - they could have captured who Yana left with and in what direction.

Volunteers are slowly curtailing their searches - they lack funds, equipment and people for such long expeditions to the mountains, forests, and swamps in the vicinity of Beloretsk. But leaflets with the image of the missing girl were posted not only in Beloretsk, but also in Ufa.

Unfortunately, active search and their coverage on social networks could frighten the criminal, as happened when 11-year-old Denar Kharipov was kidnapped in Neftekamsk in May 2014. The child was stolen by the mother's former partner, taking two teenagers to help him in order to take revenge and get a ransom - the man hoped that the woman would sell the apartment for the sake of the child. The guys brought the teenager to a garden house and hid him in a bathhouse, hoping to call the child’s relatives and demand money. But after the search for Denard began, and in in social networks Volunteers widely reported about the search and signs of the missing person, the criminals became worried. They realized that it would take time to sell the apartment, and someone might identify the boy or guess where he was being held.

And then the men strangled the child, burying his body in a nearby forest plantation, hoping that the body would not be found. The organizer of the crime will be held in prison strict regime 25 years.

Most likely, the loud publicity surrounding the disappearance of Yana Perchatkina forced the criminal to deal with the child. It is possible that in the first days the girl was alive, but the noise raised did not leave the schoolgirl a chance - after all, she could have been seen next to the kidnapper not only in Beloretsk, but also in any other city in Bashkiria.

Crimes against children always cause a great resonance in society, so whoever is involved in the disappearance of Yana Perchatkina will not escape retribution.

The city of Beloretsk is literally on edge: the streets are flooded with police officers and volunteers with maps. Frightened children huddle in the courtyards. On every pole and shop window there is a white leaflet: “A girl is missing. Yana Perchatkina. 9 years. She went to school and didn’t come back.”

According to her family, Yana is very trusting and naive Photo: social network

The last person to see Yana was a high school student - a second-grader was walking to school along her usual route. The last time her relatives saw Yana was on May 3 at 8 am. The second-grader put on her favorite white knitted sweater, white shirt, black skirt and fashionable pink tights. The girl threw her backpack behind her and shouted to her mother: “Bye!” and ran to class. Only neither the teachers nor her classmates saw her. The baby seemed to have disappeared into the ground.

My child didn’t make it 300 meters to school, he’s crying. mother of missing schoolgirl Oksana Perchatkina.

And suddenly - new information: the child was filmed by a surveillance camera near a store next door to the school. That is, instead of turning right, towards the school, the girl went left, towards the grocery store.

For what? Maybe someone she knew called out to her?

A high school student said during the survey that Yana walked alone, there was no one next to her. She moved along Stakhanovskaya Street, then turned onto Molodezhnaya, she completed the picture Perchatkina's class teacher Elvira Fatkullina.

The mother found out that her daughter was not at school only around six in the evening of the same day: Yana went to English, embroidery and dance classes at the local club “Rovesnik”, which is a stone’s throw from the house, and, as a rule, appeared at home after five.

Oksana called the class teacher, she was stunned:

And Yana wasn’t in class today!

The mother turned pale and rushed to the police.

“I blame myself for not getting to Yana’s house and not finding out why the child didn’t come,” teacher Elvira Fatkullina tears out her hair. - But I called my mother on my mobile phone in the morning! But the number they gave me is not current...

There are more than enough guesses as to where the schoolgirl could have gone. But so far none of them have been confirmed.

VERSION ONE: HIDING SOMEWHERE NEARBY

The first thing the search engines assumed was that the 9-year-old girl could not have gone far. Well, whoever it happens to - she didn’t want to go to class, went to visit a friend, and now she’s afraid to go out, so as not to scold her.

However, in the first hours of the search, volunteers and police went through the apartments of all Yana’s classmates and acquaintances, combed nearby garages, wells and abandoned buildings - the result was zero.

The next day the search area was expanded.

Hundreds of police officers, volunteers and Emergencies Ministry soldiers are checking the basin and coastal areas of the Nura and Belaya rivers. The city and suburban areas, forest plantations, are being combed. They are establishing Yana’s social circle on social networks and at school, the places where the girl usually goes, the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Bashkortostan clarified.

VERSION TWO: I GOT INTO A STRANGER’S CAR

It was as if she was with everyone and no one at the same time,” the class teacher assures. - She was very naive.

It would seem that it would be simpler: lure a naive girl with a chocolate - she won’t suspect anything is wrong, and, like a cute little girl, she will get into the car of a stranger. And then it’s a matter of technology - to take it in an unknown direction and keep it under lock and key.

Well, she couldn’t get into a stranger’s car,” her family beat themselves in the chest with their fists. - And if a child was forcibly pushed into a car, would they really not notice this disgrace during rush hour, when everyone is going to work or school?

One thing: no matter what happened to Yana, she could not call and call for help. The girl lost her phone two weeks ago, and she was not allowed to take a new one to school.

VERSION THREE: STEPFATHER IS INVOLVED

Law enforcement officers have many questions for a man raising a girl. Vitaly Burylev was detained on the same day a little after noon. And not just anywhere, but in... Ufa.

It turns out that immediately after Yana left, he got ready to go somewhere. He grabbed the car keys and was gone.

First, Vitaly came to work in Beloretsk Train Station(my stepfather has been working as a driver’s assistant for 10 years – editor’s note), I wanted to pick up some documents to register my newborn son, the man’s colleagues said.

But then for some reason Burylev decided to go to Ufa. This is what aroused suspicion among investigators.

Is Vitalik involved in Yana's disappearance? I do not believe! - the colleagues of the second-grader’s stepfather repeat in one voice. - He’s a good guy, there are no complaints about his work. Always active and cheerful.

However, Vitaly hid his personal life from his colleagues: he did not even share the good news about his marriage and the birth of his son.

The man is still being held in custody and his actions on the day of the disappearance of his 9-year-old stepdaughter are being checked.

VERSION FOUR: MY FATHER IS INVOLVED

A guess suggests itself: he was jealous ex-husband- the father of the child, decided to punish the mother for leaving for someone else, and stole her daughter.

However, relatives claim that this version does not stand up to criticism.

They checked him, but he doesn’t even know Yana. And the girl doesn’t know him: they never communicated, the relatives swear.

TOO TRUSTING

There is a stern man standing near the two-story building where Yana lives. He is nervous - he is already smoking his fourth cigarette one after another. It turned out that this is the missing schoolgirl’s grandfather Boris Perchatkin.

2 June. It’s very stuffy outside, clouds are gathering in the sky, it seems like a thunderstorm is about to start. Hundreds of people crowded near a house on Prokatnaya Street in Beloretsk. On this day, a tortured child was buried. Among the sobs, tears and lamentations, one could periodically hear: “The murderer must be brought to justice.”

Just bring her back

Yana Perchatkina was found in this house

The first message that 9-year-old Yana Perchatkina had disappeared appeared on May 4. The girl left home on the morning of May 3, and since then nothing has been known about her. She didn't make it to school and didn't return home. For a whole month, people from all over Bashkiria and nearby regions hoped that the child would be found.

Probably only the lazy have not followed the search history of Yana Perchatkina. The employees were on ears law enforcement, volunteers, media, caring people.

Presumably, he kept her in this cellar

On the very first day, search engines and local residents posted more than 3,000 landmarks throughout Beloretsk, a forest area in the north outside the city was traversed, and nearby bodies of water were explored. All abandoned buildings, wells, hatches were also combed, all records from city cameras were thoroughly studied - no traces, nothing that could indicate Yana’s location. Volunteers were involved in the search every day. Lisa Alert coordinators complained: “There are a catastrophic shortage of hands.”

On the Internet, under one of the posts, the girl’s relative Lena Perchatkina asked: “If the kidnapper is reading this page, tell me where to find Yana alive? The relatives will not insist on cruel punishment, just bring her back.”

News extravaganza

Children are walking quietly on the street

While hundreds of police officers and volunteers searched for the girl throughout Beloretsk and in nearby areas, real hysteria unfolded around her. Different versions constantly appeared on social networks and the media. The Ministry of Internal Affairs promised to pay 300 thousand rubles for information about the whereabouts of the child. Several times the girl's family received calls from unknown persons. They called and told where the body of the missing girl allegedly lay. Each time the police went to the scene, and each time there was no result.

In this quiet and beautiful place a child was dying

“If you believe psychics, you can go crazy,” the girl’s mother Aksana told our correspondent. “Some said that Yanochka was raped and kept in a brothel, others said that she was killed. One thing I know for sure is that Yana could not go anywhere on her own. Only if by force."

During the entire period of searching for Yana Perchatkina, many assumptions appeared on the Internet. Each message was more incredible than the previous one. Among the comforting news that Yana was alive and the verdicts that the child was no longer alive, one thing was clear - precious time was being lost.

More than 500 people came to see Yana off

Under pressure from the public and the media, the police decided to close all information about the search. The volunteers also refused to comment. During this period, social networks and the media continued to promote increasingly incredible versions.

Amidst the general chaos, the girl’s family also suffered greatly. People, in their usual manner, blamed both Yana’s mother and stepfather. A heated discussion took place right on the girl’s page - more than 10 thousand comments accumulated in the discussion thread. Many residents were annoyed by the groups in his subscriptions: “Dating for sex in Beloretsk for 20 years,” “Giving mothers.” Judging by them, the conclusion was made that he has extremely piquant interests, perhaps he is to blame for the girl’s disappearance.

The girl was seen off by classmates, neighbors, friends, local residents

In this story, people were haunted by the tragedy of Alena Goryacheva, who once died, and who also disappeared in Beloretsk a couple of years ago. The whole city was searched for the girl, and then it turned out that her own stepfather had killed her.

It was obvious that there were significant gaps in the version that the stepfather was to blame. Let's start with the fact that the family in which Yana lived was considered prosperous, in addition, they had recently welcomed a new addition. However, after a month of searching, literally the day before the child was found, a version resurfaced that Yana was killed by her stepfather Vitaly.

Everyone had tears on their faces

One of the Ufa media outlets wrote, allegedly from the words of the policeman’s wife, that Vitaly confessed to everything. According to her, the day before the girl fell in the bathroom, broke her head and died. As if her stepfather was confused, he took her body to the forest and buried it. How such information could have appeared is still unclear. It is not surprising that at some point Yana’s mother could not stand it and, in response to another call from the correspondent of our publication, she literally shouted: “Do you think I care about you now?”

A silent killer

On June 1, Children's Day, information appears that . She was found with signs of violent death in the cellar of the house of 38-year-old Andrei P.

To confuse the investigation, the man initially put forward the version that he accidentally hit the child and carried her body in the car for several days, and then hid it in his house. A little later, during interrogation, the alleged criminal admitted that he had made up this story in order to misdirect the investigation. The injuries found on Yana’s body, along with the open head injury that led to death, also indicate rape.

This story leaves many questions: how could a child be kidnapped unnoticed in broad daylight, on the way to school, on a busy street; why a quiet, obedient and distrustful girl could go along with an unfamiliar man; Why didn’t any of the neighbors notice that there was a child in the quiet neighbor’s house?

In a conversation with us, the suspect’s neighbors noted that his family never communicated with anyone. A man lived in rented housing with his common-law wife. Someone said that he had a child, someone that there had never been any children in this house. It is noteworthy that in the small private sector, where everyone knows each other, no one really remembered Andrey by sight.

On the way to the cemetery, a kilometer-long line of cars followed the bus with Yana

“Nobody talked to him. He was very quiet, but overall he seemed like a good guy. IN Lately he was practically invisible, and then, just the other day, he drove past my house in a gazelle, stopped and said hello. He was carrying some kind of manure or something. I noticed that he had changed a lot in appearance - he began to look worse, became haggard, and turned black,” said neighbor Maxim.

The girl was buried in her grandmother’s homeland, in the village of Buganak

Another neighbor, Lyubov, confirmed that the apartment was rented. According to her, pensioners once lived in this house, then, after their death, her daughter began renting it out. For a long time no one understood who they gave it to. The neighbor also noted that the house itself and the yard were quite large; the body could have been easily hidden in any corner.

Neighbors said that the suspect had two cars: a “ten” and a “gazelka”. In May, he first got rid of the “ten”, and then Gazelle was no longer visible. “They never made contact; neither he nor his wife communicated with anyone. Closed people. They used to plant vegetable gardens, but this year they didn’t plant anything,” said another neighbor, Valentina P.

As it turned out, the suspect lived very close to the house where the child disappeared. People close to the family are perplexed as to how Yana could approach him: “We just can’t understand why Yana approached him. She is very distrustful, apparently, he was watching over her and communicating with her before. From the very beginning we felt that she was somewhere nearby. Even the dogs couldn’t pick up the trail; they circled within 300 meters and that’s it. Here they turned everything over, checked every centimeter, looked into every well, but they missed this place,” says Oksana, a neighbor of Yana’s grandmother.

But even now, when Andrei P. was found involved in the death of the child, people confidently declare on social networks: the mother is to blame, the family is to blame, the father is to blame. When news broke that the child's body had been found, information about the alleged perpetrator immediately spread across the Internet. As shots were fired, messages appeared: “Burn”, “Kill”, “Give to be torn to pieces by family and society.” People asked for a link to Andrey's page. It turned out that there is no man’s page, only his wife’s page. What people wrote to her is unknown, but a couple of hours have passed, and Andrei’s wife Elena is removed from contact.

Mom, protect our girl

Yana was buried next to her great-grandmother

The body was given to relatives the same day after its discovery. The girl spent the night at home before the funeral. “Finally, after a month,” whispered Yana’s grandmother Elena.

There was no crowd near the house; 500-1000 people gathered. People said goodbye to the little girl and asked for forgiveness for not being able to prevent the tragedy. Murmurs could be heard in the crowd: “He needs to be killed, sent to justice.”

The farewell took place with an open white coffin. Then they closed the lid and carried Yana’s body on its final journey. The girl’s parents are heartbroken, the grandmother wailed: “My little sweetie, where did you go?..”. Behind the bus carrying Yana and her family was a kilometer-long line of cars.

It was decided to bury the girl in her grandmother’s homeland in the village of Buganak, next to her great-grandmother. When the tiny coffin was lowered into the grave, the grandmother came to the very edge and said: “Here is my Yanochka in the earth, mother, keep our girl, look after her. The monster kept my joy for a whole month, and now it’s with you.” Elena was led away by the arms, then the huge crowd dissolved. In the silence of the cemetery, only the child’s grave remained - all covered in toys and flowers.

The entire grave was buried in flowers and toys.

The editors of the site offer sincere condolences to the family and friends of Yana Perchatkina.

The court took into custody 38-year-old resident of the Oktyabrsky village Andrei Perov, accused of murdering nine-year-old Yana Perchatkina - now he will be in a pre-trial detention center until the start of the trial. The man will answer before the law for taking the life of a minor and may remain in prison for life. Unless it turns out that the murderer has a psychiatric diagnosis, then compulsory treatment awaits him.

Andrei Perov accused of murdering Yana

The investigation has already established that the man kidnapped the girl on May 3, just meters from school No. 18, where the second-grader was heading that fateful morning unaccompanied by adults. The villain lured the child with a puppy with a bandaged paw, asking him to help him deal with the small animal. An ingenuous and trusting girl, as teachers describe Yana, believed the attacker and ended up in his GAZelle truck.

Today, experts have to conduct a lot of research to establish the date of the child’s death and find out whether the baby was subjected to abuse. Law enforcement officers believe that the baby died 10-12 hours after the abduction, and the moral monster did not have time to rape the unfortunate woman. The child’s corpse was found fully clothed, and so far criminologists are only sure that Yana died from a blow to the head with a stick or other blunt object. All other circumstances of the girl’s death will be clarified as a result of investigative actions and examinations.

Let us remind you that the body of a second-grader was found on June 1 in the underground of an outbuilding of house No. 2b on Furmanova Street in Beloretsk. The corpse was wrapped in a car tent and lightly covered with earth. Andrei Perov rented this house, located a kilometer from the place where the girl disappeared.

Investigators believe that the kidnapper chose Yana near the school for a reason - the little girl reminded him of some child close to him, perhaps his daughter. They say that the suspect has children, including a blond girl, but he divorced his wife. The attacker admitted that he had given Yana rides in his car all day and treated her to ice cream, and in the evening he killed her because the schoolgirl started screaming and struggling.

It seems that by the time Yana’s mother discovered that her daughter was not at school and did not return home in the evening, and all law enforcement officers were raised to their feet, the second grader was already dead. The sadist was afraid to leave the child's body at the scene of the murder, and transported the corpse home. That is why the search for the missing child did not yield results, although it lasted almost a month - volunteers and security forces examined all the corners forgotten by people, but found no traces of the girl. The message about monetary reward, which the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus promised for information about the whereabouts of the child. However, already in mid-May it became clear that it was unlikely that the schoolgirl would be found alive.

By the way, the experts who examined the van belonging to the man were amazed at the uncleanliness of the driver, who did not hesitate to transport manure in his car and did not intend to wash and clean the body. And it was in this car, stained with manure, that the killer first transported a living girl, and then her corpse.

Investigators believe that the person accused of killing a child may have a mental disorder - he will have to undergo a psychiatric examination. As the neighbors say, during this month, while they were looking for Yana, the man suffered from a severe form of depression and several times, wanting to die, he tried to hang himself and poison himself with alcohol-containing liquids, and even ended up in the hospital, where the monster was pumped out. Someone suggests that the killer was tormented by remorse for what he had done all this time.

True, the pedophile’s supposedly upset psyche did not stop him from lying to investigators that he accidentally killed Yana by hitting him with a car, and, fearing responsibility, buried the child’s corpse in his yard. But experts quickly established that the cranial injury that became fatal for the girl could not have been sustained in an accident. So perhaps the perpetrator is just trying to feign insanity.

It is interesting that in the rented home where the girl’s corpse was discovered, the man lives not alone, but with his partner, who turned out to be so indifferent that she did not notice either the excited state of her partner, or the fact that he had been hiding the child’s corpse in the local area for a whole month . It seems that the woman, who is addicted to alcohol, never went out into the garden during this time. Investigators are confident that the lady has nothing to do with what happened - she was tested on a lie detector, like about a thousand other people who were suspected of this crime.

All men who had served time for sexual crimes, were registered as mentally ill or abused alcohol and drugs were subjected to polygraph examination. When investigators were convinced that none of the people close to Yana, neither the biological father, who had never seen the girl, nor the stepfather, who first alerted law enforcement officers with his sexual hobbies on social networks, were involved in the disappearance of the child, they began to check the version that the child was taken away stranger, who happened to be nearby. Therefore, the entire criminal contingent of Beloretsk went through a lie detector test.

But in Ufa there was already a similar wild case, when Alexander Valetkin, who had served time for a sex crime, raped and killed 11-year-old Violetta Tokarczuk. This pedophile also saw a girl going to school alone early in the morning, and could not cope with lust. He dragged the schoolgirl behind the garages, where he first mocked her and then strangled her. The criminal was found thanks to DNA analysis, which was preserved in the criminal database. And if in the case of Violetta Tokarczuk the act was a sexual maniac, then the killer of Yana Perchatkina did not come to the attention of law enforcement officers as being prone to sexual violence.

Perhaps the man, who is now not on friendly terms with his head, at first did not intend to kill the girl and intended to simply communicate with her, imagining that he was walking with his own daughter. This means that Yana, who found herself in the hands of a madman, had a chance.

And in general, the worst thing in this story is that the tragedy might not have happened if not for the indifference of numerous adults.

For example, if Yana had a mobile phone with her and could call her mother, then perhaps the girl would have been saved. But mom didn’t give Yana a new phone to school because she lost her old one. If the girl had a cell phone, she could have been contacted while she was alive. And then it would be possible, based on the data mobile device find her location. But the second-grader didn’t have a phone.

Everything could have been different if one of the relatives had been seriously interested in the life of the child, who, according to the teachers, was slightly behind in development. But the girl was left to her own devices and there was no one to help her catch up. Yana’s mother was busy with a new marriage and a newborn baby, and her grandparents did not have the strength to look after their granddaughter - it seemed to the adults that if the child was dressed and fed, then that was enough. Yana, due to this parental neglect, stayed for the second year, and then turned out to be so naive as to meekly get into a dirty car with a stranger. For some reason, the family didn’t think about the child from eight in the morning until evening fell outside the window. After school, the girl went to the local club “Rovesnik” to study dancing and English, but even there none of the teachers noticed that she didn’t come this time.

Adults need to understand that the world has changed a lot since Soviet times - now maniacs live among us. Today no one sends potentially dangerous people and mental patients beyond the 101st kilometer, as was the case in a country where they did not particularly care about human rights. We have to admit that a state committed to democratic principles cannot control sociopaths until they commit crimes. Therefore, responsibility for the life and health of children lies only with adults who can be nearby and prevent a tragedy.

And if numerous passers-by and motorists who saw the criminal on a walk with someone else’s child could have suspected something was wrong, then this story could have had a good ending.

The teacher called her parents after school, but they changed the number and were unable to report Yana missing. Today the teacher reproaches herself that she did not reach the Perchatkins’ apartment, located on Prokatnaya Street, a 10-minute walk from the school, and time was hopelessly lost. It is not for nothing that forensic experts assure that it is possible to find a kidnapped child alive only in the first 48 hours.

And not a single resident of Beloretsk, who caught the eye of a strange couple - a little girl and an adult man, suspected anything bad - and therefore a terrible thing happened.
