Missing teen returns home

A 16-year-old girl, earlier reported missing, has returned to her family and is in good health, police said.

Maria Vasileva Todorova from Bulgaria had been reported missing on Wednesday. She had been gone since Monday.

Maria returned to her home in Limassol on Thursday. At around 1.30pm, she and her parents visited the local CID office.

There, they explained to officers that Maria had been at a friend’s house.

During the three days, the teenager had called her family on more than one occasion, telling them only that she was fine without revealing her whereabouts.

It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
