A 17-year-old teenager, who had been missing since July 23, was found dead in Kochenevo, Novosibirsk Region. The Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Nadezhda Boltenko, is currently working at the site of the incident.

The teenager left his home around 6:00 PM on July 23 and did not return. His mother noticed his running shoes were missing, leading her to believe he had gone to exercise.

Volunteers, aviation, drones, and a horse group were involved in the search for the boy. The search plane covered 308 kilometers, while drones captured 1,200 images. The horse group examined approximately 20 kilometers of challenging terrain.

The Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor’s Office of the Novosibirsk Region have not yet released any comments regarding the situation.

According to the teenager’s aunt, he had never run away before and had no known bad habits.
