Since May 5, when the girl disappeared, extensive search efforts have been undertaken, with volunteers and other services. Currently, with the surveyed areas, water bodies and other sites, as well as the information gathered in the investigation, the State Police has chosen a different search tactic, no longer placing emphasis on mass search efforts on terrain with increased voluntary involvement.
The police stress that search activities and types can be different and have not been exhausted.
“The fact that citizens do not see public search events right now does not mean that the search does not take place,” said the police.
Any information received in connection with the disappearance of the girl is carefully examined, and "various versions" are examined.
Given that criminal proceedings have been initiated and investigations are ongoing, the police are currently refraining from commenting more broadly on the details of the investigation. As soon as there is new and publicly available information, and if new public mass search efforts are organized, the police will inform the public immediately.
“It's not planned to stop the search right now, and it will continue for as long as necessary,” said Grāvīte.
