She was supposed to accompany a friend and return home
The family of 15-year-old Ariana from Drammen asks for help in finding the girl. According to information provided to the editorial office she left home on Monday 26 October at around 18:00 to accompany a friend to the train station. She did not return, and her phone is switched off.
About the situation told us Iga Szczepanik, a resident of Drammen and a friend of Ariana's mother, who has known the girl since childhood.
- The daughter informed her that she was leaving and that she would return right after seeing her off
- Iga recounts.
As our interlocutor says, the mother tried repeatedly to call her daughter in the evening and at night. At the time of speaking to the editorial office contact had not been established.
How to recognize Ariana?
According to the description provided by Iga, Ariana:
is 15 years old;
is approximately 165 cm tall;
is slim, of slight build;
has dark eyes;
has black hair reaching approximately to mid-chest;
is fluent in Norwegian and English.
According to our interlocutor, Ariana was born in Norway, and her mother comes from Poland. The girl does not speak Polish.
It was not possible to determine what she was wearing when she left. Please rely primarily on the current photo and the description. We also do not have confirmed information about which station she was heading to or whether she reached it.
Relatives and acquaintances are trying to find out where she is
Iga reports that, according to the mother, Ariana's departure was not preceded by an argument. The girl had announced she would return after accompanying her friend. The reason for the lack of contact remains unknown.
From our interlocutor's account, friends and the school were informed of the situation. The people whom relatives spoke to could not indicate Ariana's whereabouts.
According to Iga, the mother also contacted the police, and at the time of the conversation with the editorial office she had gone to the police station in person.
At the time of preparing the material the editorial office does not have a statement from the police regarding the circumstances of the disappearance and the actions being conducted.
