Some years ago we made the mistake of going through aglandja and came to the road that leads to Larnaca, but it was in the Turkish-held area and we had to turn back. Do you think it is possible she took that road seeing the sign for Larnaca and maybe the UN could be asked if she has been seen wandering around on that road and not the highway to Larnaca.

Please God you find her soon,

Regards,

Annaka.

Annaka, I believe she might have crossed to the north side. She did have her handbag with her at the time which means she had her ID with her and she speaks Turkish as well. We should try and find someone to spread the news in the north side.

First sighting of missing granny
By Alexia Saoulli

AN 86-YEAR-OLD woman who has been missing for nine days after she walked out of her Nicosia old-age home was sighted trying to make her way to Larnaca a day after she disappeared.

According to police investigators Lydia Gulesserian was seen getting out of a man’s car near the University of Cyprus’ campus a day or two after she went missing on May 6. She then spoke to a National Guardsman and told him she was trying to get to Larnaca which was where she was from.

“The solider identified her from a photograph and she spoke to him in broken Greek and some English. It was her,” said an officer, who wished to remain unnamed.

Another two sightings placed the pensioner walking in the same area, he said.

“On the first day she was spotted near Thermopilou Street and then a few days later she was spotted near the UCY campus,” he said.

“We only received the information on Tuesday night and yesterday an extensive search was carried out starting from the UCY campus right up until Yeri. We also contacted the UN to search the buffer zone. Unfortunately she was not found,” he added.

The officer said Rapid Reaction Unit (MMAD) police and sniffer dogs had been used in Wednesday’s search.

Although police have expressed hope that the elderly woman has found food and shelter somewhere and would be found alive, investigators are growing increasingly worried about her safety.

Unconfirmed reports also place the 86-year-old in Larnaca near the Kamares Aqueduct area. She was said to be wearing a black sweater.

Gulesserian’s three daughters believe their mother was wearing a black skirt, light coloured shirt and a black sweater on the day she went missing from the Kaladjian old people’s home in Strovolos.

The 86-year-old walked out of the old age home at 9am on May 6. Her daughters were notified of her disappearance three hours later. The pensioner had only just returned from the United States with two of her daughters where she had spent the last six months with them. The women had accompanied their mother to settle her into the old age home before returning home. According to her daughter, Arda Gulesserian, the 86-year-old had not been unhappy in her new surroundings and had appeared to settle in well. She also said her mother did not suffer from dementia and only became disorientated on occasion because she had water in her brain.

Anyone with any information regarding Gulesserian’s whereabouts should please contact the nearest police station or call her daughter Arda on 99047800.

Missing teen returns home as police fear for elderly Lydia’s safety
By Alexia Saoulli

A 17-YEAR-OLD Nicosia girl who was reported missing on Thursday returned home at the weekend, police said.

Sofi Evripidou returned home on Sunday afternoon alive and well. The Strovolos lyceum student had been reported missing last Thursday. Her mother notified Nicosia CID when the teenager returned.

In a statement to authorities, Evripidou said she had been staying in a building near her house. Apparently the teen said she had been under pressure due her school exams, which had coincided with fierce family arguments just before her disappearance.

Meanwhile, Nicosia CID is continuing to search for an 86-year-old woman who disappeared almost two weeks ago after she walked out of the Kaladjian aged care home.

Police yesterday admitted they were increasingly fearful for Lydia Gulesserian’s safety and that they were getting fewer phone calls regarding reported sightings.

“We know for sure she was near the University of Cyprus campus [a day or two after she went missing on May 6] because we have three witnesses who saw and spoke to her. After that we have had various reports but nothing confirmed,” an investigating officer said.

The elderly Armenian woman had apparently told people she was trying to make her way back to Larnaca, which is where she was originally from.

“She isn’t in Larnaca. We are still searching but she could be anywhere. She maybe went off course and walked into fields and is somewhere we haven’t thought to look,” he said.

Gulesserian’s three daughters believe their mother was wearing a black skirt, a light coloured shirt and a black sweater on the day she went missing from the Strovolos aged care home.

n Anyone with any information regarding Gulesserian’s whereabouts should please contact the nearest police station or call her daughter Arda on 99-047800
