The Moscow Region Directorate of the Investigative Committee at the prosecutor’s office, on behalf of the leadership of the department, will check the actions of the police on organizing the searches of Maria and Elizabeth of the Fomkins , lost in the Orekhovo-Zuevsky district and those who died from the cold and exhaustion.
According to Interfax on Friday, the official representative of the SCP Vladimir Markin, during the audit, a legal assessment of the actions or inaction of officials of state authorities, which are entrusted with the search functions, will be given, and a procedural decision was made.
The history of the disappearance and searches of a 39-year-old woman, a disabled person of the second group suffering from oligophrenia, and her five-year niece was excited by the public. Both disappeared on September 13 after they left for a walk. Lisa's parents immediately turned to the police, but law enforcement officers in accordance with the law could begin searching for those who were missing only after three days. However, taking into account that the small child was essentially in the care of a mentally ill woman, the search was organized the very next day after the loss.
However, there was no result, and the desperate father of the girl threw a cry for help on the Internet forum of the car club in which he was. The tragic message flooded the Internet with a lightning speed. The trouble united more than 300 people. Volunteers joined the search. It was they on the evening of September 22 that Maria's corpse found 2.5 km from the village of Fedorovo. Experts came to the conclusion that the woman died from cold and hunger.
The body of Lisa the next morning was found by another volunteer, a 21-year-old employee of the Ministry of Emergencies.
According to experts, the girl died two days before she was found. Pathologists informed Life News that she had acute cardiovascular failure, cardiomyopathy against the background of hypothermia. The child was so exhausted that there was nothing to take as a sample of the contents of the stomach, and fatty tissue under the skin was completely absent.
Maria Fomkina died a day earlier, and apparently this happened not only from cold and hunger, but also from a severe attack of epilepsy - traces of foam were found in her lungs.
Volunteers are convinced that aunt with a niece died due to poorly organized searches, a mess and bureaucratic wires. “For example, 60 employees took part from the police in the search. But these six dozen people would have been combed to the first snow. As the military told us, if you had at the disposal of search units a helicopter with a thermal imager on board, Lisa could be found in just two hours,” the volunteer Pavel shares his considerations: or another official search was almost stopped due The fact that in Orekhovo-Zuev there was a city day and all the police officers involved the protection of law and order. "
There is another important point: the police have no right to work at night. “There were also employees of the Ministry of Emergencies among the volunteers who came to help us during the time. Officially, the Ministry of Emergencies did not start searching,” says one of the search engines. “The fact is that they were looking for a person only in the first three days after the loss. But then there was no information that Lisa and Aunt saw in the village, it turned out that they disappeared into Orekhovo -Zuev. And in the city of people. The police, however, does not have the right to start the search for a child who disappeared with an adult until a three -day period is a vicious circle. "
