- Distinguishing Characteristics:
- Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Blond/brown hair, blue/gray eyes. Arkadiy’s nickname is Ark. He is a Russian national who emigrated to the United States in 1996, and he’s fluent in Russian and English. He has scars on both arms and his right ear is pierced.
- Details of Disappearance:
- Arkadiy disappeared from Staten Island, New York on January 26, 2005. He left a friend’s house around 2:45 am and never made it home. His phone was at home. His parents found a note saying “Sorry about this. No wake, no funeral.” They called the police right away, but the police didn’t start looking for him for six days.
Arkadiy was upset about a recent breakup with his girlfriend; she said he’d mentioned suicide before, but his family didn’t think he’d actually kill himself. His disappearance was completely unlike him; he was a good kid who never went anywhere without telling his parents. He was a junior in high school and lived with his parents sometimes and his sister other times. His sister was out of the country when he vanished.
Because he was a skateboarder, police searched skate parks all over New York City. Some think he ran away, but because he was depressed and left a note, he’s considered missing and endangered. The case is still unsolved.
