- Nine-year-old Valeria disappeared on June 3 — she left home to go to school by bus, but never showed up at school. There was no alarm, so the girlʼs mother noticed her disappearance only in the evening. She informed the police at around 6.30pm the same day.
- After more than a week of searching , the body of a child was found in the forest near the town of Debeln. He was found about three kilometers from the house of Valeriaʼs family. Later, the German police confirmed that it was the body of the missing girl. Law enforcement officers are investigating the murder and suspect two men in it: the ex-boyfriend of her mother Nadia (Moldova citizen Andriy), as well as her stalker (50-year-old Ukrainian Hennadiy). The latter has an alibi, the Bild tabloid wrote.
- The girl lived with her mother in Germany since 2022. Valeriaʼs parents are divorced, dad is serving at the front. After the disappearance of the child, he was given leave and allowed to go to Germany.
