Investigation Update on Missing Individual in Irkutsk Region
The third department of the Investigative Committee in the Irkutsk region is continuing efforts to locate Kulakov Roman Vasilyevich, born in 1992, who remains missing. The case is treated as a priority in the region’s investigative work, with ongoing coordination among law enforcement and search teams. This information was previously reported by irk.ru.
On June 3, 2020, Kulakov was scheduled for a business trip by train from Nizhneudinsk to Taishet but did not arrive at his destination or report for duties. Since that date, authorities have not confirmed his location, and the search remains active. Investigators emphasize that there is no confirmed information about his whereabouts at this time, and the case remains under close supervision by regional authorities.
The regional investigative department’s press service noted that the search is ongoing, with standard procedures applied to determine Kulakov’s movements and identify any leads. Police and investigators are evaluating all available evidence, including travel records, passenger lists, surveillance footage where accessible, and potential contacts that could shed light on his disappearance.
Descriptive details about Kulakov have been published to aid public visibility and assist witnesses or acquaintances who might provide information. He is described as a slender man, approximately 165 to 170 centimeters tall, with a European facial appearance, dark blond hair, and green eyes. A tattoo featuring a star, a carp, and a Yin-Yang symbol is noted on his body. At the time of disappearance, he wore a navy blue jacket, black boots, a hat, and white striped work pants with reflective elements near the lower legs. The investigators request anyone who recognizes this description or who has information about Kulakov’s whereabouts to contact the authorities immediately. This notice is part of routine fact-finding and evidence-gathering procedures used in missing person cases, with careful attention to privacy and safety considerations for all individuals involved.
In a separate but related note, authorities reported the finding of 23-year-old Ukrainian Yana Malaiko, who had disappeared earlier in January in Castiglione delle Stiviere. Her body was located among blackberries in a field near the border between the Mantua and Brescia provinces. The discovery has prompted additional investigative steps to determine the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and death. Authorities urge the public not to speculate and to await official statements while the case undergoes forensic review and formal inquiries. This development underscores the ongoing importance of coordinated investigations across jurisdictions to resolve missing person cases and protect the safety of communities involved. The information regarding Malaiko is provided as a part of ongoing regional updates and is attributed to official channels.
