Virginia Beach Family Still Searching for Missing 12-Year-Old Vitaliya Yarovitskaya — ‘Please Don’t Scroll Past Her Face’
VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA — It’s been more than six years since Vitaliya Yarovitskaya disappeared, but her family has never stopped searching — and never stopped hoping.
Tonight, they are once again pleading for the public’s help in finding the now 12-year-old girl, who vanished from Virginia Beach on April 8, 2019, when she was just six years old.
“Somewhere tonight, a family is still praying for answers,” the post read. “Praying that Vitaliya will one day come home safe.”
A Child Missing, But Never Forgotten
Authorities and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) have released an age-progressed photo showing what Vitaliya might look like today, at age 12.
The Virginia Beach girl has been missing for far too long, but her family refuses to give up. They believe that someone, somewhere, may have seen her and could hold the key to bringing her home.
“Vitaliya is not forgotten,” advocates wrote. “Let’s make sure her story continues to be seen, shared, and heard until she’s safely back with her family.”
Details About the Case
- Name: Vitaliya Yarovitskaya
- Age Now: 12 years old
- Missing From: Virginia Beach, Virginia

Officials urge the public to take another look at Vitaliya’s photos — both from before her disappearance and the age-progressed version — in hopes that even the smallest tip might lead to her recovery.
How to Help
Anyone with information about Vitaliya’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office or the Burbank Police Department at 1-818-238-3000.

Even the smallest detail — something that might seem insignificant — could bring her one step closer to home.
The Family’s Message: Keep Sharing Her Face
Advocates and family members continue to urge the public not to let Vitaliya’s case fade into silence. Her photo and story continue to circulate on social media under hashtags such as #FindVitaliya, #BringVitaliyaHome, and #NeverStopSearching.
“Every share, every post, every pair of eyes matters,” one supporter said. “She could be out there, waiting to be found.”
Vitaliya’s family says they’ll never stop searching — and they’re asking the community to keep her story alive until she’s finally home.
