Nassau County detectives in New York are currently seeking a missing Democratic political candidate and field organizer who vanished since last Thursday and was last seen on Long Island.
Petros Krommidas, aged 29, was last observed in Baldwin, according to detectives from the Nassau County Police Department. The press release stated that he was attired in a camouflage sweatshirt and gray sweatpants during his last sighting and that he might be located in the Long Beach vicinity.
In an online statement, individuals believed to be Krommidas’ relatives, as reported by NBC 4, appealed for the community’s assistance in locating Krommidas, mentioning that his personal belongings were found on the beach on Thursday.
“On Wednesday, April 23, Petey parked his car by the Allegria Hotel in Long Beach, New York. He locked his car, took a towel, and around 10:30 PM walked onto the beach to exercise, just as he had done many times before,” the post says. “On Thursday, April 24, the police found his towel, clothes, and phone left on the beach. Since then, search efforts have been ongoing, but we need the public’s help.”
