This morning, the dog of 13-year-old Nikolay from the Stara Zagora village of Konare was found. This was confirmed to BNT by Senior Commissioner Krasimir Hristov, Director of the ODMVR-Stara Zagora. The dog was found near the child's home, of which there has been no trace for seven days.
The boy, who has Down syndrome, was last seen at noon last Tuesday and has been missing since then. He disappeared together with his dog.
A helicopter joined the search yesterday, which began flying over the areas where it is assumed that the boy could be, but without result. All efforts of police, gendarmerie, firefighters, forest officials and volunteers are directed in a northwest direction from the child's home, from where he disappeared, since there are video cameras in other directions that have not detected movement.
The police cordon, which is searching the area, is also maximally tightened, because there is a possibility that something was missed during the previous searches. Hunters from the region have also joined the search, searching the shelters in the wooded area where the child may have taken shelter.
