Anxiety Grows for Missing 16-Year-Old Lora: Searches Continue in Athens

Anxiety is mounting over the disappearance of 16-year-old Lora, who has been missing from Patras for six days. Searches are now focused on Athens, where her bag was found in Zografou, while the possibility of her leaving Greece is currently ruled out. Police are examining security camera footage and testimonies from individuals who encountered Lora before her disappearance. The videos do not show any suspicious encounters, but frequent use of her mobile phone is recorded. Lifting the communication privacy of her connections yielded no results, as her mobile phones were switched off. The man who was seen talking to Lora before her disappearance voluntarily appeared at the Security Office and claimed he bought a used mobile phone from her. The taxi driver who transported Lora from Patras to Athens reported that the girl spoke broken Greek and spent the entire journey doing her makeup, without mentioning her destination. The investigation is also examining information regarding Lora's temporary stay in a facility during her life in Germany. The authorities are considering various scenarios, including the possibility that Lora chose to stay in Athens, as well as potential contacts with unknown individuals. The case remains open, and searches continue at a rapid pace.
