A public appeal is being made by the mother of 16-year-old Lora Lomtev, who disappeared on January 8, 2026, from Patras, asking for any information about her daughter’s fate. “Give us a sign that you’re okay,” is the heartbreaking message she sends, expressing the family’s anguish. Lora’s mother spoke for the first time on camera on the show “Light in the Tunnel,” describing the difficult hours she has been experiencing since the day of the disappearance.
16-year-old Lora disappears from Patras: “What is being said has no relation to reality,” says her mother
“We are anxious about our Lora every minute. All we ask for is a sign that she’s okay, that she’s alive,” she stated with evident emotional burden. “Everything that is being said has no relation to reality. I never controlled her. There was no violence. We just want to know she’s okay.
We love you so much. Whatever has happened, we can solve it together. Give us a sign… just that,” she added.
The family’s lawyer, Telemachos Benetatos, categorically denies scenarios of abuse and tensions at home, emphasizing that this is a close-knit family.
At the same time, he expresses the belief that another person is involved in the case. “A minor child found herself alone in Athens, in a city she had never been to before. Someone is helping her.”
Amber Alert extended
So far the searches have not yielded results, a fact that intensifies concern for the minor’s fate. “The Smile of the Child” organization once again appeals to anyone with information to contact the authorities immediately.
