Testimonies shedding light on the family environment and behavior of the 16-year-old’s father are coming to light, as authorities continue their search to locate Lora. A family neighbor describes to Mega and Live News a very closed family, while the father of the 16-year-old, according to testimony, had told neighbors that “they are following him” and that he feels threatened, before the family suddenly decided to move. Meanwhile, after persistent communications between the Greek Police and Lufthansa, the airline confirmed that the girl boarded a flight to Germany, which explains why her traces were lost from Greek territory.
Former neighbor of 16-year-old Lora: “Her mother was an intimidated woman – Her father was authoritarian”
“We were neighbors for many years, we knew each other. But we weren’t very close. They lived very isolated and withdrawn, he always lived in fear because he was Russian. He had gotten a large guard dog, a German Shepherd. He was always scared, we never understood why. And at some point they suddenly decided to move. He told a neighbor at some point that they were following him, that he was afraid. There was also the war with Ukraine, you understand. I don’t know if he was exaggerating, but that’s what he said“. “We might see her some afternoon playing with the dog in the garden, but nothing more. That’s why I can’t say much about the daughter. The whole case is very frightening“. Referring to his wife, she characterizes her as “obviously intimidated,” quiet and submissive, emphasizing that the man was authoritarian. “She was a very intimidated woman. Young, not that it plays any particular role, but he was very authoritarian, to put it carefully”.
