A young girl vanished from her home in County Down this week, prompting the Gardai to issue an urgent missing persons appeal, reports The Mirror.
On Friday morning, April 18, Maria Silaieva, 17, was reported missing by her family.
As worries about Maria’s safety increase, Gardai are now attempting to track her down with the help of Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) personnel.
Maria may now be in Dublin, according to authorities, after attending an event in Louth on Thursday, reports The Mirror.
In the hopes that someone may come forward to help with the missing persons case, investigators have now released a detailed description of Maria’s looks.
